The one on the CD is an rpm isn't it?
OKay, this is what I did (sure you can do other ways but this is simple)
Mount the CD. Go to the directory where the 4.51 is then click on the
netscape-common rpm file. kpackage should pop up. Click on "replace files" check
box and click install.
Do the same for netscape-communicator rpm. You should not even have to reboot.
:-)
Oh yes, be sure to be root to install the rpms. But don't click on the desktop
netscape icon as root. Exit and logon as your normal user. For some reason,
clicking netscape (first time) as root makes netscape unusable for other users.
(it crashes - don't know why)
Hope this helps,
