>From a newbie, I have the following packages installed and accessing secure (https) appears to be no problem: navigator-base-477 navigator-smotif-477 netscape-java-477 netscape-base-477 netscape-base-4-libc5 netscape-base-4 communicator-base-477 communicator-smotif-477 If you are simply going to do browsing, without need for mail, newsreading, & simple html editor, I believe you only need to install the navigator & netscape packages. If you are really new to Debian, you will probably want to use "dselect", or you can simply use "apt-get" if your sources file is working. For example: apt-get update apt-get install netscape-base-477 By the way, I remember seeing a thread recently in this mailing list that provided some information on what netscape packages to install for just web browsing. I have tried Mozilla, and for the beginner I don't think it is the way to go. Similar problem, couldn't access secure sites. Yes, I do think there is a way this can be fixed by downloading some software. If you are watching this mailing list, you may be interested in another thread that has something like, "browser review" in the subject. Good Luck! Barry Mathieu
