It gets a bit more complicated than this with Nutscape.  The reason is
that Mandrake has decided that it's an integral part of their distribution
and thus it's installed in /usr/bin and /usr/lib/netscape.  the
apps-defaults file contains a netscape definition to that effect.

But, if you download 4.75 the developer believes that FHS means something
and they put it in /opt.  If you don't delete (by removing the rpms) the
old versions, you don't get a complete install of the new one and there
ends up being some cross-talk between them such that if you run the 4.75
version you get errors and all apps that need a browser grab the old
version.   This is all separate from personal .netscape files and
deleting them doesn't fix it.
