Howdy, Y'all:I am trying to 'upgrade' from 'console' to GUI. I think I have successfully installed XFree86/4.2.1. I can 'startx' and I get a monochrome desktop with a tiny clock and three windows; 'login', 'xterm', and 'xterm'. I can toggle among three resolutions. I want to run a browser, preferably Netscape (preferably v4.61 if available for linux). What am I missing? Where do I go for help to get from where I am to where I want to be?
Well ... where do you want to be? (Where do you want to go today? Nah.)
To add Netscape to your system, you have two options.
1. Connect to the Netscape site and download the Linux version closest to what you want. You can download the current Netscape (7.0) from this URL --
http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/download_other.jsp
The Netscape site for downloading old versions (4.61 specifically) is
http://wp.netscape.com/download/archive/client_archive46x.html
2. See if your distro has some suitable version of Netscape prepackaged for it. Since you don't tell us what distro you use (note to everyone who posts: it is ALWAYS easier to answer questions if you mention which distro you use EVERY time you ask one), I can't be more specific than that.
If there are other elements of your X setup that you want to change ... you'll have to ask about them explicitly, or turn to the usual sources for prepackaged advice in the form of HowTos and guides.
