Found it works great as long as you don't download and install to the /usr/local/netscape that Netscape tries to load to in default. Set it up to download to a file called /home/user/netscape6.2. The installer downloaded it to there and set it up. After succeeded installing it into my Mandrake 8.0 I installed it on my SuSe box, just as easy. Thanks for the help.
