The licensing of Netscape has changed between Debian 2.0 and 2.1. Netscape and Communicator are now included as .deb packages in the non-free and contrib sections, which I don't think are on the CD's. There is is huge set of different packages to choose from. This is what I have installed. It has been split into modular parts. contrib/web/netscape-base-4 non-free/web/netscape-base-45 non-free/web/communicator-base-45 non-free/web/communicator-smotif-45 non-free/web/communicator-nethelp-45 non-free/web/communicator-spellchk-45 non-free/web/netscape-java-45 -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
