The licensing of Netscape has changed between Debian 2.0 and 2.1. 
Netscape and Communicator are now included as .deb packages in the
non-free and contrib sections, which I don't think are on the CD's.

There is is huge set of different packages to choose from.  This is
what I have installed.  It has been split into modular parts.  

contrib/web/netscape-base-4
non-free/web/netscape-base-45
non-free/web/communicator-base-45
non-free/web/communicator-smotif-45
non-free/web/communicator-nethelp-45 
non-free/web/communicator-spellchk-45 
non-free/web/netscape-java-45
