Don't worry about the install script. I alwasy install Netscape with it
because I don't want to wait for the debian install package.
The install script for b7 is pretty good. It asks you where you wan't to put
it. I use the default, /usr/local/netscape. Then it goes and installs. It
you have an older version sitting there it keeps all the old stuff intact and
just renames them, I guess this would be good if for some reason the new
version doesn't work and you wan't to go back to the old one without
reinstalling it.
But I didn't want to waste the disk space so I just deleted to old one, ran the
install script and all it good. I also made a soft link in /usr/local/bin to
the netscape executable in /usr/local/netscape. Now I I wan't to uninstall it
is about 3 commands harder than if I had installed the DEB. cd to /usr/local
and then rm -r netscape then cd to /usr/local/bin and rm netscape and I am
done, besides the .netscape files in user directorys.
But I think you can trust it. And the deb doen't make it much easier.
