Re: [aclug-L] Installing Netscape 4.61

[phrostie <phrostie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the tar ball should work on any distribution, but it's not always the easiest
way to go.
rpm are quick and easy if your running redhat, pht, suse, caldera.
debian might have a deb for it.

as for the tar ball, creat a directory for it, move it to that directory, then do tar xzvfo <file.tat.gz>.
look for a readme file and an install script.

try that

i just move up to 4.61 with a rpm from falsehope.
love it!

good luck

This Linux stuff is complicated, I am taking a Linux class this fall at
Butler, I hope that will help.
