The gzip-xxx package isn't netscape, its gzip. Delete it. The navigator
versions (v3) of NS are under the ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/navigator/
directory. Chose the subdir that corresponds to the version you want to
use. The v4 (communicator) versions of NS are under the
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/ directory. The installer .deb
package you have is for 3.01 (but should be usable for other v3 versions
(with a rename of the .tar file). If you want a v4 version, get the v4
version of the .deb installer.
