Sorry, I may have missed the early post. What error messages you get?
As for netscape-communicator-*.tar.g make sure you are typing the
right file name, file is not a symbolic link, etc. These things might
happen.

You might want to look up earlier versions of ProRage, see if they are in
the card library. This might help you to get more out of the X in terms of
resolution and color depth. Also, use SVGA xserver, at least.

Ok, try this instead. In the dir. where you have netscape-communicator
file (make sure it's not /tmp yet, or you might lose the file whenever you
logout), type gunzip and then first 3-4 characters of the file name.
Then hit TAB. If you don't have any other file names starting with those
characters, it will display the ful file name. Easy way to avoid typos.
