Re: Which netscape version works?

2000-09-21 Thread John Reinke
There is a newer version - 4.75, which seems *slightly* less buggy for me. If you don't already have it, add the security line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, and then run: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and it will install the newer version, as well as any other security fixes you may need.

I'm also pretty sure there _used_ to be a netscape package that installed everthing (or maybe it was just an installer package). You need communicator-smotif-475 or navigator-smotif-475 $ apt-get install communicator-smotif-475 Peter Nate Bargmann wrote: > On Wed, Sep 20, 2000 at 01:49:52PM -06
