The Netscape site is not clear
where the default directory is. It says to go
to the directory it is installed in and run
the program from the command line. Running
LM Find Files and Gnome Search Tool under root
do not seem to find the new netscape program.
I see an install log, but nothing in it about
Netscape 6.2 I can find.
Questions:
1)how do I find where something installed to?
either do a find /usr -name netscape to find the directory that netscape installed
to but usually the executables are either placed in /bin or in /usr/local/bin. a
faster way if the executable has execute permissions is to issue the command which
netscape. if it returns the location of the executable then you can try executing
"netscape &" in a command line. fyi, the ampersand means that the application will run
in the background and therefore free the console/terminal for other uses.

sorry the I omited the asterisk at the end of the command. it should have read "find
/usr -name netscape*" to list all files beginning with netscape.
and a note to all who would react on my stand against plugins and 'full-featured'
browsers, I dont use plugins even in Opera (only those installed by default) and I
surf for content not eye-candy. Im artistically-challeged anyhow ;-)
ciao!
