All the programs are too big for the screen. I have to move the mouse

Hey Joe,
I read somewhere when you get the tarball (communicator-v407...tgz) file
from the netscape ftp site. Then you copy that file to /tmp and then
you run dpkg -i pathname/netscape.deb (the netscape install package) and
it should work... I'm trying it now :)
