Where were you mounting it? On FreeBSD, for example, the packages/All looks
like

netscape-communicator-4.76.tgz                  xwpick-2.20.tgz
netscape-remote-1.0.tgz                         xwrits-2.11.tgz
netscape-wrapper-2000.07.07.tgz                 xxgdb-1.12.tgz

On Windows 2000 Server, a "dir net*" for Netscape looks like

04/19/2001  08:11p          11,899,001 netscape-communicator-4.76.tgz
04/19/2001  08:10p               6,930 netscape-remote-1.0.tgz
04/19/2001  08:12p               3,393 netscape-wrapper-2000.07.07.tgz

Where were you seeing the truncated file names and what kind of system. The
FreeBSD iso uses the RockRidge extensions so that all systems see the full
name.
