Netscape 6



I had a a problem installing using the installer from the web site. It 
kept getting hung up at the same spot and froze. I then went to the 
tried and true anonymous ftp server from the command line and pulled 
down the tarball. on ftp.netscape.com I found the tarball in 
/pub/netscape6/english/6.0/unix/linux22/sea directory. When i 
uncompressed the archive, it created a directory structure with the 
installer. I ran the installer, which pulled everything locally, and it 
took a minute and was up and running. It is working great with no problems!
