What should > I do. Get back in Linux :) do this: apt-get install wget which will install the wget program. Then do: wget -nd http://path/to/netscape6.2.tar.gz next do: tar xzf netscape6.2.tar.gz or maybe if it's not a tarball: gunzip netscape6.2.gz Look inside the directory. There should be a file called INSTALL or README. Use "vi" to open it and do what it says. Good luck. HTH, Jesse
