Installing Netscape 7.1 on Suse 9.1 Pro
 

I got Netscape downloaded and (almost) successfully installed on my machine. However, Netscape does not appear in my "start directory" (at least, that's what its called in Windows--i.e. the directory that begins in the lower left portion of the screen with the green suse icon). I have to go to the root directory to activate the program by clicking a "shell script" icon that starts the program (then it works just fine).

I cannot get the Netscape icon on my desktop either. I can put a "link to shell script" icon on the desktop, and that does start the program just fine. Can anyone help me finish this installation so that it is a bit more "professional"? I would like to get Netscape into the same directory as all of the other web browsers that I have.

In the past, I downloaded the Epiphany and Amaya web browsers and they automatically went to the correct directory when I "untarred" and installed them, so I can't understand why the Netscape didn't. By the way, I did download the linux compatible version of Netscape.

Thanks in advance,

Some randomn guy who gave Bill Gates the boot.

First of all, don't use it.
It's crap.
Try FireFox (the best netscape based browser ever):

For Netscape,
Just open a console and type "netscape" to start it.
Follow SuSE's 'help' instructions to add it in your menu(if this doesn't happens after your first use of it).
