Try

# apt-get install communicator-smotif-475 netscape-java-475

or replace 475 with whichever version of communicator is on the CDs.

Hello Andre,

thanks for this tip.
I looked up first with dselect for "netscape" components:

*** Opt contrib/ netscape-bas 4.73-32 4.73-32 Popular WWWbrowser....


Then I tried
 
# apt-get install communicator-smotif-473 netscape-java-473

and got back:

E: Couldn't find package commuinicator-smotif-473

Im not sure, if the installation of Netscape Communicator is completed.

Do you know, how to verify this and how to configure Netscape for the first
start with X-Windows? 

Thanks 

Christoph Walther
