Why would you ever want to access the internet from root. When you do that you have absolutely no security. That is the last thing you would ever want to do. Root is for system administration only.

exactly!, NOT for surfing the Web!!

Is this only happening with netscape? If so, the above 2 comments may suggest why. This may be Netscapes way of preventing you from hurting yourself, or it my be a distro thing if all your browsers act in a similar way.

You may not care that root is for administration only, and wish to use that account all the time. After all, it does make it easier when downloading and installing alot of different things, so when you are first setting up your system to get it running just like you want to, root seems to be the way to go...

But it really isn't. You can download all the files you need, and then when it comes time to install them, enter root. If you are installing RPM's via a fat gui, usually the distro's that would use these types of files also give you a chance to enter roots password when it's needed to install certain files. If you are installing source via command line, you can always su - to install when the time arises.

Proper use of root is essential to system stablility, security, and overall ease-ability. If you start out doing everything as root (creating folders, making files, etc) then sometime down the road when you realize that you should use a normal user for most things, you will have an even harder time switching over. Get into the habit while your system is still fresh, trust me, I am speaking from experience.

I hope this doesn't sound like a "bitch" session, because I am just trying to let you know the why's of not using root, rather than just saying "Don't use root, it's bad".

Cool
