Because of licensing issues, Debian doesn't distribute the actual
Netscape program; just the installer. You need to download Communicator
from Netscape's site, copy it to /tmp, then install the Netscape Debian
package (you might need to rename the downloaded file as per the
instructions during the install). This should get you going.
