There aren't any packages because Netscape isn't freeware.  The generic
solution to checksum problems is to delete the checksum file -- obviously,
only use this when the "invalid checksum" error is itself in error.  I 
think you can also then do a "make checksum" to make a new one but that 
isn't always necessary.

You know how normally you switch vtys using ALT-Fn?  To do so from within
X, use CTRL-ALT-Fn.  To go *back* to X you use the regular ALT-Fn.  It
sounds confusing but when you do it it'll make sense.
