There used to be a package netscape4_4.0-7.deb (for example on
ftp.linux.it/pub/Debian/dists/frozen/contrib/binary-i386/web/netscape4_4.0-7.de
b) which could install netscape4 on Debian 1.3.1.
Is there any way that I can get it (or something else that can do the same
thing) ?

someday.(when I know more) Anyway instead of just wasting the space I
added it to swap. F

Unless you're doing heavy-duty GIMPwork, 32megs of swap is
optimal.
