To install Navigator 4, do (as root), whilst dialled in to the internet, # cd /usr/ports/www/netscape4-navigator # make install && make clean The appropriate binaries for navigator will be downloaded as part of the install process. After installation, you might like to clean out /usr/ports/distfiles to save some space. Oh - read the FAQ, and send questions like these to freebsd-questions, not freebsd-mozilla (which is basically a dead list). -- Joe Abley <jabley@clear.co.nz> Tel +64 9 912-4065, Fax +64 9 912-5008 Network Architect, CLEAR Net http://www.clear.net.nz/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mozilla" in the body of the message
