have you run XF86Setup? > > Also, in looking at Netscape's ftp site, there is more > than one version for linux: mklinux, linux20_glibc2, linux12. > Is there a FAQ anywhere for how to choose and build Netscape? > get communicator 4.06 from ftp.netscape.com:/pub/communicator/4.06/shipping/english/unix/linux20 and get the one you want of base_install, standalone or professional_edition put the tar ball in /tmp and make sure it's owned by root.root. Then install the netscape4 installer deb package which then will unpack and install the netscape tar ball that you previously put in /tmp. if you install the installer from dselect it will also install whatever other packages you need (if you install it from the command line, it might complain about needed packages missing and you will have to install those by hand).
