I believe I did this already by going through dselect. Selecting the
Netscape4 install program, after copying the communicator-v45...tar.gz
file to /tmp. That didn't work. What you are sugesting seems to be the
same except in my case dselect used dpkg. If I am not correct in this
please let me know.
Thanks,
Merry Christmas!
