If you type "netscape" in a console window as root, you will get the
explanation: Netscape is not allowed to be run as root for security
reasons.
If you absolutely want to run netscape as root, you can edit the startup
script for netscape. I don't know where it lies, but you can follow the
symlinks from /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape until you find the script. In this
script, change the line allow_root from "no" to "yes".
Hope this helps, sorry I'm not using my Debian box to read and write to
this list, but a SUN-workstation at univerity, so I cannot look for the
file names right now :-(

That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
