   netscape does not start   
   28 Apr 06 08:33:59   
   
   From: charles96@dunjas.com   
      
   I am running Fedora Core 4 on an AMD pc.   
   I just downloaded netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz   
   gunzip ran without incident and left   
   netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar   
   tar xvf netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar   
   created /usr/local/netscape-installer and a few dozen files   
   The instructions are to run /usr/local/netscape-installer/   
      
   Here are the last few instructions in /usr/local/netscape-installer/README   
      
        3. Change to the directory that contains the   
        Netscape installation files:   
        cd netscape-installer   
      
        4. Run the Netscape Installer with the run   
        script:   
          ./netscape-installer   
      
        5. Follow the on-screen instructions to   
        complete the installation process.   
      
        6. To start Netscape, change to the directory   
        where you installed it and run the program:   
          ./netscape   
        The program starts automatically the first time.   
      
   3 and 4 and 5 appeared to run OK.   
   When I ran 6, I get nothing. since /usr/local/netscape/netscape   
   is a script, I note that it searches for mozilla. So I let it   
   search for over five minutes. nothing!   
      
   Suggestions appreciated,   
   Charles
