The only advantage I know of is that netscape does some stupid things when installing, among them placing files in ~root/.netscape/ that should go in $MOZILLA_HOME/.netscape/ - other than that, I can't really see any advantages (which reminds me that I should submit as a bug against this package the fact that java didn't work right off; I had to make certain MOZILLA_HOME was set when running netscape) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
