The Netscape archive must be obtained directly from netscape (maybe 
sunsite has it too!) at ftp.mcom.com (I think this is the current

Unfortunately, you mus edit the /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc file yourself 
to add the menu items.  I don't know of any good menu editor but there 
may be one for all I know.
