Thanks for the tips. I successfully uninstalled the netscape 4.6 rpm with
kpackage. I could not locate any rpms for 4.7 so at the command prompt and
out of x I used the tar command on the .tar.gz file, then installed
according to the install instructions that were in there. well, acutally
used the ./ns-install as the instructions did not tell me to do a ./ before
it, but "just this girl" said to use that and it worked. All I had to do was
redirect the icon to the new location of the netscape executable. I feel
like a million bucks after this!
now, can I remove the install folder/files safely?
Thanks for the tips!

It's not in one place under Red Hat or Mandrake. The executable will be in
/usr/bin, but not the rest. I sure wouldn't recommend installing there!
That's why I recommended the deletion first.
Different distros, different issues...
