no, Netscape has a nice little installation script to install it. It
shouldn't really matter anyways..

that is because netscape is installing its own color map (because there is
not enough available), I think there is an option to force it not to. try
netscape --help
You should probably be running in at least 16 bit color mode. Right now
you most likely in 8 bit. try startx -- -bpp 16 (or 24)

where netscape was installed. I don't know where Debian installs
netscape, but it probably has its own directory so it shouldn't be hard to
find. Mine is set to /usr/local/netscape.. You'll want to add a line
similar to 'export MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/netscape' in you /etc/profile
file.
