Thanks to Doug, I got the netscape3 tar file, and I've installed it, but it won't let me run as root for security reasons. As I am the only user on my computer, I always login as root (I know this is considered 'bad', but it is far more convenient for me). I remember having a similar problem on

mozilla

I've been following the thread on Netscape, and someone said that the Debian package version might be available from today. The nearest thing I could find was mozilla in slink, but this required some libs from slink, which in turn require some others, etc, and my installed system is from hamm.
