Re: [newbie] Linux and Netscape 6
I had the same problem with Netscape's own installer program, but I recalled that I had seen a download link at Icewalkers for the tarball itself. I downloaded that with wget just fine, no cut-offs, and untarred it and than ran the installer that is included. It works much better that way than trying to do it from Netscape. The link is: http://www.icewalk.com/softlib/app/app_00916.html Good luck. Don J. On Fri, 17 Nov 2000, Dennis Myers wrote: Has anyone else had a problem d/l the Netscape6 browser?
