thanks mike, that's quite all right. i feel a lot better about 'abandoning the good ship, vivaldi' when i see that list of requisites ending, it still will not work. i used vivaldi a few years ago, can't recall whether linux or windblows, excellent browser but another suited me better. i'll craft a ...

tried another route as i was keen to get to my email.
used seamonkey 2.48 as outlined by musher in another
thread in 2018. too tired to provide details but will later.

i get to the directory containing:
sub-directory vivaldi, LAUNCH, update pepper flash.
i open a terminal there--bash:vivaldi: command not found
i try terminal inside the sub-directory vivaldi. same result.
uncheers, mm

hi musher, thanks for the reply. i used desktop > jwm to put taskbar at top. it worked, as it has done before and no doubt will again. perhaps i was unclear at the beginning: i was not having a problem with xload. i was and am curious about why xload was displaying such a level of activity when the ...
