Netscape 6.2

[Lee]

Found it works great as long as you don't download and install to the 
/usr/local/netscape that Netscape tries to load to in default. Set it up 
to download to a file called /home/user/netscape6.2. The installer 
downloaded it to there and set it up. After succeeded installing it into 
my Mandrake 8.0 I installed it on my SuSe box, just as easy. Thanks for 
the help.
