Re: netscape won't reinstall



You should have /usr/bin/X11/communicator, which is a symlink to
/etc/alternatives/communicator, which is a script that will run netscape or
mozilla depending on the situation. I just discovered that this morning and
haven't had the time to dig thru to find the binary to run for netscape, but
running /usr/bin/X11/communicator, without mozilla up at the time, should give
you netscape 4.76.
