Okay, go ahead and tar zxf the tar.gz
# tar zxf filename
Then go into the directory it creates.
There is a README.install... read it :)
What it essentially says to do is (as root):
# ./ns-install
This will offer you a choice of where to put the new netscape. You can
pick the same dir your current netscape is in, and it will copy all the
files it replaces to filename.old, so it is possible to undo the
change. Or you can pick a new directory if you would like to be extra
cautious.
