How Do I get Netscape?
 

Hi. I am currently using Mozilla, Opera and Konqueror on my Fedora Core 2. But, under Windows, I like to run Netscape, and on Netscape's site the only place I can find the Linux version is on the CD you buy. Doesn't make sense, give it for free on a proprietary OS and make people pay when they use a free OS. This is why I think I missed the link somewhere. Could someone please tell me where to find a Netscape RPM or even source code to compile if possible??? Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.

There may be a copy on your install cds. Or go to http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/download.jsp - you only need to buy the cd if you don't want to download it - they are extremely unlikely to want to give cds away for free, are they?

Lol, no, I couldn't find the download link for the Linux version so I assumed that the only way you could get it was buying the CDs. Anyways, thank you for the help. I will go ahead and try that now.

Alternatively, YUM or APT4RPM will download and install it.

Netscape is based on mozilla.

Wrong way around :)

To install apt4rpm, you need to download its dependencies as well.

apt-get install <package_name>

But once you install it, that can save a lot of time. apt-get can install the package dependencies for you automatcally.

See man apt-get for detail or google.
