They do.  Select "Custom" on installation, and then deselect the 
"extras" like Mail, News, RealPlayer.  That's what I do, because I 
use third party software for all that.  It makes a somewhat more trim 
installation, and takes a little less time to load.

Still, I'm not quite sure why Netscape is so slow.  It's based on the 
Mozilla engine, which right now is uber-speedy.  Netscape is 
massively slower than IE 5 on my setup, but when IE goes down it 
likes to take the whole system with it.  I can't live with that, so 
Netscape it is.

I haven't tried Netscape 7PR1 yet.  I will when my larger hard drive 
comes.  But I really think Mozilla is the lean, mean way to go.  Just 
can't seem to get it working in 8.6 though...
