You probably successfully installed both times It is loaded as a binary in some directory, likely /usr/bin, so scroll through that using the file manager untilo you find it (It won't be /usr/bin/netsacpe cause that's taken by 4.77) Once you have the executable in sight, then open up Mandrake Control Center and click on System - Menus - Configure System Menus. Add it using the directory path to the netscape6 executable as the "Command" line. Then Save and exit. Now you can use netscape. But, I must ask this. "Why bother?" Mozilla is on the distro and updates are readily available from Freq and Cooker and is likely to be a more recent iteration of the gecko engine than Netscape. What you get for using netscape is all the glitz and hype and popups and ways to expose your email to spammers that AOL can possibly think of. Plus of course you get the underlying Mozilla, probably not as recent as is available from other sources.
