You could be a little more helpful. There are 5 different netscape versions in /usr/ports/www: % ls -dCF netscape* netscape3/ netscape4-navigator/ netscape4-communicator/ netscape45-communicator/ netscape4-communicator.us/ And one Mozilla: % ls -dCF moz* mozilla/ If for some reason one doesn't want to use the falling-out-of-bed simple ports mechanism (I can't imagine why) then you could either read the Makefile(s) to know where the raw files could be downloaded, else you could do something like: % cd /usr/ports/www/netscape4-communicator % make fetch And let the port fetch it for you. Better yet, "make install" will fetch, patch, compile, and install. When it finishes, "make clean" to clean up the mess made in the port's directory. You can cd to /usr/ports and "make clean" there too, to find all the ports you forgot to clean in the past. Communicator 4.06 can be found at ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/4.06/development/english/unix/freebsd/professional_edition/communicator-pro-v406-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar.gz Reading the makefile further indicates you can % setenv USE_128BIT % setenv USA_RESIDENT NO and "make install" will patch your native FreeBSD Communicator for 128 bits. Otherwise you have to download the Linux version in netscape4-communicator.us manually and make sure you have Linux emulation running. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
