Its not under updates on the mirrors. Its in the crypto stuff. Follow the
crypto link from http://www.linux-mandrake.com
And when you try to install make sure that you rpm -e netscape-common
netscape-communicator and netscape-navigator (all in the same rpm command) then
do the install on netscape-128-common and netscape-128-communicator again on
the same command line.
