I've downloaded netscape's tarball, and unzipped it with gunzip. Now
how do I access it to run the ns-install script? I guess I need a basic
lesson in "What's a tarball? Is it anything like a tarbaby?" Is it
like a zipped file in dos?
Forgive me for these remedial questions. I've only been using Linux for
a week, and have learned a ton from replies to my questions and from
reading others' comments. Thanks everyone, for your help!

By default, NS will install into /usr/local/netscape/. In your
XWin menu,
make sure the path is correct when calling NS. I didn't use the wrapper
when installing NS, I installed NS's tarball, modified the menu entry so
that it called the NS binary directly (/usr/local/netscape/netscape) so
I
wouldn't have to change my PATH setting.
In Netscape's tarball, the install script's name is
'ns-install'.
