I have recently installed Hamm on my computer with XEmacs, Netscape
Communicator and Apache working smoothly. Here is my experience, with the
hope that it helps. I did the entire installation from old CheapByte CD's
(four of them: Debian 2.0 official binary and three extras CD's contaning
the Debian 2.0 source, non-free and contrib trees) which I got cheaply.
I installed Apache immediately after the base installation, together with
X Windows and the bulk of the packages on my system. After installing X
Windows, I installed the various XEmacs packages. Then, I installed libc5,
xlib6, xpm4.7 and libg++27 from the oldlibs section and motifnls from the
x11 section of the main tree. The installation program (I used dselect for
all this) then asked me to set the environment variable XNLSPATH to
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls", so I added the line
export XNLSPATH="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls"
to /etc/profile. If I remember right the installation program also asked
me to reboot for something or other to take effect; I am sorry, my memory
fails me here.
I then downloaded the Netscape binary
communicator-v404-export.x86-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz, and copied it into
the /tmp directory (the gzipped archive itself: no uncompressing or
extracting). After that, installed the package netscape4 from the
contrib/web section. It found the netscape binary in /tmp and installed it
perfectly, together with an extra plugin or two, in /usr/lib/netscape,
providing a working Netscape Communicator.

I haven't yet installed a custom built kernel. I am using the 2.0.34
kernel image which came with the base system.
