When you have installed FreeBSD and the ports collections, you will get Netscape 3 by doing # cd /usr/ports/www/netscape3 # make install And that's it. Netscape 2 and the latest beta of Netscape 4 are available under the obvious names. If what you're asking is how to install FreeBSD, go to www.freebsd.org and look. There is a lot of information in the handbook, for starters. Eivind.
