Normally, Debian packages are installed in the /usr directories; /usr/local is left for local/non-debian applications. However, you can install Netscape 4 wherever you want: you just have to set the MOZILLA_HOME environment variable to tell it where's its home dir.

I have not tried to install Netscape 3.01 with the Debian's installation package, but there are lots of differences between NS-3.01 and NS-4.04... The installation procedure may have changed. > I already downloaded 3.04, don't really want to get an older version Neither do I, even if NS-4 requires lots of system resources ! > Actually, I installed 3.04 with the Debian package - just to see what > would happen, but I think I will uninstall it and put it in /usr/local. Netscape provides a script for installing Communicator. I've used it to install Communicator under /usr/local/produits/sv-cguvaens/netscape and had no problem (remember that with such directories you need to set the MOZILLA_HOME variable !).
