Under your home directoy there is a directory called .netscape, netscape
creates this when you first start it, in this directory there is a file
called bookmarks.html, plain html file where it stores the bookmarks.

Under windows it should be something like c:\program files\netscape\
bookmarks.html, somewhere in there.  If you can't find it do a start->find
and look for it.  It also is a plain html file.

If you are dual booting and can acess your win95 part, you could edit them
by hand to update them, or copy it over some where, up to you.

I have never tried this, and *in theory* could work:  make a syslink from
~/.netscape/bookmarks.html to point where the bookmarks.html file is on
the win95 drive.  When in linux, it would really be reading/writing to
your windows file, in windows it would read/write to your windows file,
and it would update it's self no matter which OS your where in.  Kinda
cool.

If your try to use this, use at your own risk, and also make a backup of
both bookmarks.html file and put them in a safe place.

The only thing I could see giving your trouble would be write premission
as normal user to the where the win95 drive is mounted, this could be at
best tricky, at worst a security risk or corrput bookmark file.  

I never tried it, but should work, remember to back up both files.
