ssh and other such like things are on the non-us version of the
first CD. That is the difference between the non-us and the
"regular" CD, the non-us has those extra programs, apache-ssl and
all that schtuff. As for netscape, heh, you had a window that
closed several months back, where netscape 4.6x was available, it
has since been yanked, and is hard to find, and prolly not worth
finding. these days mozilla is a better bet on ppc because it's
being actively developed and maintained. I don't use it myself but
I gather it does the job.
