netscape-v304-export.x86-unknown-linux-elf.tar.gz can (could?) not be distributed on Debian CD. Therefore, the relevant Debian package is only an installer. It expect the tar ball (*.tar.gz) to be in the /tmp directory with the name specified. If you insists on installing this specific netscape version, you have to find that file and download it to the /tmp directory. It could be that it is still in the specified location, ftp://archive.netscape.com/archive/navigator/3.01/un ix/netscape-v304-export.x86-unknown-linux-elf.tar.gz > --eric > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
