Joy of joys! I have Netscape installed and running on my BSD box! I was
getting an error in rpm2cpio. I just needed to install that with some
special args in order for it to work.

In my last message, I referenced Debian a couple times, I like the software,
but IMHO, Linux is meant for Intel. BSD handles the Alpha hardware much
better. 

Just wanted to clarify that I am in favor of BSD. :)

Again, thank you Andrew and everyone else for putting up with my questions
and helping me along!

netscape47-communicator at least, seems fine.  I didn't nuke all its
dependancies.  Can you give more detail about how its failing?
