Ok thanks a bunch Peter.

Are you saying to stay away from v7?

If I try mozilla, will it "interfere" with IE 6, or NS 4.8 or
7?
Thanks,

Clint, Netscape 4.79 is the main browser according to
statistics from
various counter sites taking between 3 and 10% of the browser
market.
Netscape 6/7 and Mozilla 1 (the much better version out of
the three is
Mozilla, bar none) still only score around 2 to 4%.
You can have as many versions on one partition as you like.
Same goes for
Opera.
Netscape Navigator 4.8

Netscape 7

2/sea/
Mozilla 1.0.1 http://www.mozilla.org/releases/stable.html

Mozilla is newer than Netscape 7 yet contains all it's
features minus the
AOL garbage :) So I recommend staying away from Netscape for
new releases
but you can install Netscape 4.8 fine.
