   If you like the suite approach, you might take a look at Mozilla 1.7.12,   
   the latest release of the suite.  You will find much like Netscape 7.2,   
   but without the netscape and AOL proprietary addons.   
      
   All your bookmarks and settings are stored in your profile.  To transfer   
   them, you copy your profile folder, and insert it in the proper place on   
   your new machine.  When you install Netscape (or Mozilla), it should   
   detect the presence of the profile and use it.   
      
   This is the Reader's Digest version. For complete information, look at   
   Irwin's excellent Profiles page:   
      
   http://users.adelphia.net/~irwingreenwald/About%20Profiles.html   
      
   Look particularly for the Transferring section.
