CaptainCool:
Hmm, I cant seem to figure it out, how do I install Netscape in linux?
After I untar it it says to run this script so i try to open it and vi is the only application that will open it but I dont know how to use vi.

Please help.

Master of Reality:
# tar xvf netscape.tar
# cd netscapedir
# ./configure
# make
# make install

linux doesnt use relative links, meaning that you actually have to type '/usr/local/program/run' to run 'run' or cd into the directy and type ./run ('.' means 'current directory')

after untarring i would suggest viewing the README and INSTALL files... 'less README'.
What Linux distro are you using. Red Hat comes with netscape and has the RPM on the CD. You can also find the RPM for it at www.rpmfind.net
to install an RPM you do:
rpm -Uvh program.rpm

I'm using mandrake and i also have redhat on cd will the netscape rpm work with mandrake?

Master of Reality:
yes it will. mandrake should come with netscape on its CD too (probly). I know RedHat has the RPM somwhere on the cd. Or you could get it from www.rpmfind.net

CaptainCool:
