Because of licensing issues, Debian doesn't have the Netscape binary; it does have a
.deb installer that will install the Netscape binary and register it with dpkg, etc.
You will need to download the Netscape binary yourself, from [www|ftp].netscape.com;
I've always had more success with ftp. You'll have to drill down through the
directories (pub, then ...english...etc, etc...) to the correct file (something like
"communicator-4.7-linux-glibc-tar-can-this-filename-be-any-longer-tar.gz") and
download it (don't forget to "bin" before "get"). Put this file in the /tmp
directory, then either do an "apt-get install netscape4" or dselect the netscape4
package.
Voila! U R done.
