I grabbed a copy from ftp12.netscape.com/pub/communicat....
and used ns-install, which basically just puts everyting in
/usr/local/netscape (you can over-ride it)  Just noticed that you

Netscape and java applets work fine with XKEYSYMDB as the *only* 
environment variable set (NS specific anyway :)

Ran it as /usr/local/netscape/netscape

Ran a bunch of applets at java.sun.com, most worked.  One of mine
that works for me w/NS2 and NS3 but not for a friend using W95
now fails and gives an acutal error message instead of just a
blank gray box!

Aside from being 10MB it looks pretty good.  Lots of beta 2 bugs
are gone.
