Hi Tony; In addition to the excellent reasons already given, by using the debian installer you also set yourself up for "painless" installation of packages that use, support or interact with netscape.

I would like to know what the advantage is to using the installer package rather than the install script that comes with the communicator package from netscape. I know that dselect won't offer any options for the package, but are there further advantages to installing as a *.deb package? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
