Hi Andre, I am a newbie also : ), so I can't help you much with installing it as an ordinary user. I installed Netscape 6.2 as root and I can run it as a normal user. If that is your worry, don't worry anymore. You could try installing it in another directory which you have permission to write, but I've never done it, can't help again. Good luck,
