Sounds like the Caps Lock key is stuck. Trying banging on it and see if it
lossens it. Or just be a new keyboard. I suggest teh MS Natural Keyboard since
i'ts really comfortable. But it's fairly expensive, and any ol' keyboard ought
to do just fine.

First make sure you installed it right. Type "rpm -q netscape-navigator" and
see if the version comes up. If you get an error saying it's not installed,
then you need to try installing it again. If it does come up with a version,
then type "netscape" and it should come up.
Also for future information, you don't need to uninstall a program to upgrade,
you can just upgrade. And the files are all spread out because that's the way
Unix is organized. Each part of Netscape has it's own little section, to make
it easier to find all the Help files on your system, all the executable files
on your system, etc etc. So while it may seem random, it really isn't.
