With `-j [JOBS]' or `--jobs=[JOBS]' you can specify the number of
parallel compiler invocations. So, if you have two CPU's you would
probably say `make -j 2 <other options>'. For more information read
the make info-file (Node `make Invocation:'/`Options Summary:').

I don't know if there is a dedicated installer package for Netscape
Communicator V.4.05 in hamm. The Communicator itself is not available
in a `.deb'-package (because of copyright i think). I downloaded it
from Netscape and ran the nc-install script, which did it quite well.
The Communicator itself is running pretty stable - i had no major
problems with it.
