Like the kernel, Netscape packages are version-specific; that is to say that different versions are treated as separate packages, not as different versions of the same package. To install the latest statically-linked version of Netscape Communicator, use something like # apt-get install communicator-smotif-475 If you want to track the latest release, try # apt-get install communicator Communicator is a meta-package that depends on the latest statically-linked release; that way if Communicator 4.76 makes it out the door and gets packaged, you should get it along with everything else when you go # apt-get update; apt-get upgrade John P. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mdt.net.au/~john Debian Linux admin & support:technical services
