These questions are distinct and seem to come up pretty often. I guess Netrape is a pretty popular program... Getting Netscape to work without mangling the FSSTND and possibly breaking upgrades to X stuff: 1. Copy everything from the netscape tar.gz to a directory /usr/local/lib/netscape 2. Use the following script as /usr/local/bin/netscape --cut-- #!/bin/sh XNLSPATH=/usr/local/lib/netscape/nls XKEYSYMDB=/usr/local/lib/netscape/XKeysymDB export XNLSPATH XKEYSYMDB exec /usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape $* --cut-- 3. chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/netscape Getting backspace to work: Add this line to your .xinitrc xmodmap -e 'keycode 22 = BackSpace' Netscape doesn't like having the keymap changed under it, so if you choose to just type this line in, you'll have to quit and restart Netscape.
