Copy /etc/X11/XF86Config to /etc/X11/XF86Config.old and then run
xbase-configure. It would be a good idea to have the XF86_VGA16 server
installed and the entry in /etc/X11/Xserver should declare it the server.
(You can change this back to the actual server after the configuration is
complete. The xbase-configure dialog box doesn't run with all servers. It
does run with the vga-16 server.

This is a minimal window manager (twm?) of which there are many choices. I
use olvwm but fvwm2 seems to be the most popular at the moment.

Don't be sorry ;-) this is the right place to ask. Welcome to Debian!

The only thing that Debian can package is an installer. You will need to
download the tar.gz file from Netscape and place it in /tmp so the
installer can find it. (I believe I did this with lynx package, in the web
subdirectory)
