Debianized Netscape for Debian 1.3.1 ?
Is there any Debianized Netscape for Debian 1.3.1 except for the probably obsolete (and also problematic) Netscape 3.01 (Navigator) ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, first off, there is no .deb package of netscape itself, period. What there are are .deb installer packages - these are packages which require you to have already downloaded the netscape .tar.gz file from one of netscape's sites first and placed it into /tmp. Installing these packages then causes that file to be unpacked, put in the appropriate place and other things (like adding netscape to menus) to be done. So, now the question becomes whether there is a netscape installer package for Debian 1.3.1 for anything other than netscape 3. And the answer there is no, but this is one of the few cases where one can use packages from the frozen distribution (that is, from hamm, or what will become Debian 2.0) for Debian 1.3.1 - so, I'd recommend getting the following: ftp://ftp.linux.it/pub/Debian/dists/frozen/contrib/binary-i386/web/netscape4_4.0-7.deb And then if you want just the web browser: ftp://sunsite.dsi.unimi.it/pub/www/Netscape/pub/communicator/4.04/shipping/english/unix/linux20/navigator_standalone/navigator-v404-export.x86-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz But if you want the web browser, and the mail and news capability: ftp://sunsite.dsi.unimi.it/pub/www/Netscape/pub/communicator/4.04/shipping/english/unix/linux20/base_install/communicator-v404-export.x86-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz You should put the .tar.gz file from the sunsite netscape mirror into /tmp and run dpkg -i on the .deb file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The new version of communicator4.05, and netscape4.05, allow for redistribution. They won't work on hamm, as they are compiled for libc6. There is nothing I can do to change that. Also, they won't be going into 2.0, unless decisions are made by someone other than myself. Please be patient. They will be in 2.1, and will be available on the ftp site in slink.

On a related note, the navigator tarball and communicator tarball, are almost identical. Initial inspecation leads me to believe that there will be one -java pkg, and both navigator and communicator will depend on that.
