get communicator 4.06 from
ftp.netscape.com:/pub/communicator/4.06/shipping/english/unix/linux20
and get the one you want of base_install, standalone or professional_edition
put the tar ball in /tmp and make sure it's owned by root.root. Then install the
netscape4 installer deb package which then will unpack and install the netscape
tar ball that you previously put in /tmp. if you install the installer from dselect
it will also install whatever other packages you need (if you install it from the
command line, it might complain about needed packages missing and you will have to
install those by hand).
