I downloaded mine from ftp.netscape.com
/pub/communicator/english/4.61/unix/supported/linux20_glibc2/complete_install

and installed by putting it in /tmp/ and installing the package
"netscape4" from dselect.  It's been running since sometime on 8/21 and
this is 8/24, so I would consider that pretty stable.  It must be good
software when X, WindowMaker and Netscape 4.61 can all run for several
days without crashing.  Don't try this with Windows...

Anyway, I suppose it might be worth trying.  I hope you can have the same
good experience with it.

Hope this helps,
Patrick
