Re: Debian 2.%$#@*&!



Actually, there is another variant. You can install netscape right
from debian using apt.
Instead of choosing installer, choose the packages
netscape-base-x.xx, communicator-smotif-x.xx, and other additions (where
x.xx is the version you want). I do it this way and works ok.
