Thanks.

Now the installer runs, but netscape-installer-bin crashes, apparently
as soon as it tries to download something:

chdir(umovestr: Input/output error
0)                                = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)

All this means is that netscape-installer-bin has called chdir(0).

How do the helpful people at Netscape expect me to fix this without
source? Do they expect their users to intercept C library functions
with LD_PRELOAD or something?

Has anyone else had this problem?
