If you are running slink, you need to install the package navigator-smotif-45. If you do that using the apt-get command like this... apt-get install navigator-smotif-45 ...it will install the stand alone Navigator plus all it's dependencies, including navigator-base-45 and netscape-base-4. If you want java support and/or the online help, also install the package(s): netscape-java-45 navigator-nethelp-45 The 4.6 version of Netscape is only in potato (unstable) and requires the 2.1 version of libc6, which is also only in potato. If you're not otherwise planning on upgrading to potato at this time, you would probably be best off to stick with Netscape 4.5 for now. I've had them both installed and didn't notice much, if any, difference in functionality - and version 4.5 running on slink is likely to be more stable. Tom
