Well, I have netscape4 working just fine on my almost-all-bo system.
Here's what I did:
Installed netscape with the netscape4 .deb installer, version
4.0-5.deb (This older version would run on bo; my assumption is that
the newer one's dependency on libc6 is not a big enough problem for
the maintainer to fuss with).
Changed /usr/bin/X11/netscape from the symlink it was to the
following script:
#!/bin/bash
export MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/lib/netscape
exec /usr/lib/netscape/netscape $*
Installed bash 2.01 (which I built from the debian source) to fix
the oft-posted problem with helper apps.
My only guess is that perhaps your MOZILLA_HOME variable isn't being
exported. To see if that's the problem, try doing
export MOZILLA_HOME
netscape
If that works, then either use a script similar to the above to launch
netscape or do an 'export MOZILLA_HOME' right after you set it.
