netscape-common = common files to navigator & communicator
netscape-navigator = browser only, no email, no newsreader, html editor, or
other crapola
netscape-communicator = full netscape package, browser, email, newsreader, html
editor, and other junk.
Personally, I install common & navigator, there are better options for the rest
of the stuff that is in communicator, although you can install both with the
--force and --nodeps options in rpm
