Preferably a package. The port consists of a big bunch of Red Hat 6.1 RPM's. If you have access to a Red Hat 6.1 cd you can copy the required ones into /usr/ports/distfiles/rpm/ (see what's required from the makefile). Or download the stuff from Red Hat or a mirror. In addition to what's installed by linux_base you'll need libjpeg-6b a nd gtk+ -- the netscape port should install these automatically, just put the rpm's in the distfiles/rpm directory. > 3) Where did you get netscape6? Did you use the linux version of netscape from mozilla.org? It's the linux netscape 6 preview release from netscape.com . I don't know whether the same thing is available on mozilla.org. > 4) What install steps did you take to install netscape? I downloaded > the mozilla version and it was not clear how to install.

The easiest is to use the ports cd /usr/ports/www/linux-netscape6 make install But otherwise, just untar it somewhere, cd to the package/ directory, and run netscape from that directory.
