I believe I did this already by going through dselect. Selecting the Netscape4 install program, after copying the communicator-v45...tar.gz file to /tmp. That didn't work. What you are sugesting seems to be the same except in my case dselect used dpkg. If I am not correct in this please let me know. Thanks, Merry Christmas! Kent <snip> >You should not use tar!
