Just a note that it is not my site. I am just recommending it.
You are right, the netscape-base-4_14.deb is no where to be found for
slink libc(I have sent a note off to netgod to see if he can put it up
on his site). I have put a copy that I built from the source at:
http://widget.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis/netscape-base-4_14_i386.deb.
Before you install this though you will need to install the libwww-perl
and liburi-perl packages from unstable(it would be great if they were
in the above archive as well), they do not need libc6(>=2.1) so this is
not a problem. The easiest way to install them is to use dpkg on one
line:
dpkg -i liburi-perl_1.01-1.deb libwww-perl_5.42-1.deb netscape-base-4_14_i386.deb
After that use apt/dselect or whatever to install the rest of the
packages you need from http://ftp.netgod.net/x/.
Sorry for the confusion,
