I'm trying to install Communicator 4.5 on slink using the deb
package(s), but something has changed since the last time I did this,
and I think I'm missing a very basic piece of information on how to do
it. 

I know how to do it manually using the tar.gz file, and I have no
problem with the older netscape4 (Communicator 4.06) package which I'm
running right now, but I'd like to install Communicator 4.5 using the
deb packages.

Can someone give me a quick rundown on what exactly is needed to do that
- for example do I still need the communicator tar.gz file at all
or....??

I tried it by installing the following 3 packages in this order, which
according to the dependencies looks correct. 

netscape-base4_8.deb 
netscape-base-45_4.5-1.deb
communicator-base-45_4.5-1.deb

However, I end up with no excecutable that I can find, even when I place
the tar.gz file in /tmp as was previously required. Like I said, I'm
missing something real basic, but no clue as to what.

Hopefully someone can clear up my confusion.

Thanks,
Tom
