I downloaded mine from ftp.netscape.com /pub/communicator/english/4.61/unix/supported/linux20_glibc2/complete_install and installed by putting it in /tmp/ and installing the package "netscape4" from dselect. It's been running since sometime on 8/21 and this is 8/24, so I would consider that pretty stable. It must be good software when X, WindowMaker and Netscape 4.61 can all run for several days without crashing. Don't try this with Windows... Anyway, I suppose it might be worth trying. I hope you can have the same good experience with it. Hope this helps, Patrick
