You need to get the file netscape-v301-export.x86-unknown-linux-elf.tar.gz 
from netscape.  you will need to work you way through the download site.  do 
*not* get v302, v304, etc.  It is in the archive section, i believe, rather 
than the current sections.

Then move this file to /tmp, and 

  dpkg --configure netscape

and it will install the netscape package.
