netscape-commonXXXXX.rpm?

Guillermo.

I have to apologize, I didn't realize that there were no longer packages 
for Netscape/Mozilla. I usually use Firefox or Opera to surf the web so 
I haven't checked. You can check out the Mozilla Suite at:

There are still mozilla packages available. I have the below installed 
from development.
rpm -qa |grep mozilla
mozilla-devel-1.7.12-2
mozilla-mail-1.7.12-2
mozilla-nss-1.7.12-2
mozilla-chat-1.7.12-2
mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.12-2
mozilla-1.7.12-2
mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.12-2
mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.12-2

Under /usr/share/applications - there is a file called mozilla.desktop 
which contains an entry called NoDisplay. You have to change this entry 
to equal false to see mozilla in the menus.

I prefer mozilla over the thunderbird/firefox seperate applications. 
They are still out there.

Netscaspe is a different situation. I believe the new Netscape is only 
available on the wintel operating system.

Thank you all,

I have installed mozilla suite 1.7.12-1.5.1 but i have to enter to a 
page (sysmaster Gatekeeper web config page) wich says that was developed 
for IE5.0 or newer.  i was told that Netscape could do the work.

is there any deferences between Netscape and Mozilla?
i have Mozilla and also Firefox.
:)

thanks for your help.

regards,

Guillermo

If you want to install it these are the steps:
rpm -ivh netscape4-4.8-3.dag.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb netscape...spec
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS
rpm -Uvh netscape..rpm

or you maight get away with: rpmbuild --rebuild netscape4-4.8-3.dag.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS
rpm -Uvh netscape..rpm
