	There's basically two things you can do.

	1) Go to http://ftp.netscape.com and get a copy of the navigator that
has been built with libc5 (I think they still keep both libc5 and libc6
versions).

	2) Upgrade your system to libc6.  This can't be done by simply dl'ing
libc6 and telling dpkg to install it.  There are several other things
that have to be done.  You should start with the HowTo that Ray pointed
you to.
