Peter, When you installed if you did not add an sources to your system on the install, go to /etc/apt and with vi do a vi sources.list. This will open the sources.list in a text editor. In the sources.list you will see lines that start with the # space then deb-ftp, or # space deb-src. For those lines move the cursor to that line and then press the x key twice, that will delete the # and the space. Do that on every line, when your done press the Esc key then type :wq that will save the changes that you just made. Now type apt-get install communicator. That will download teh Netscape files and install them. Netscape is called a non-free program and does not come on the cd's. Hope this isn't to confusing and it helps.
