Well, it's pretty straight-forward, folks..  Just get the ports
collection (see http://www.freebsd.org/ports if you're not familiar with
them) and install netscape from the www collection.  Both 1.1 and the
latest BETA of Netscape2 are encapsulated thusly, and the port installs
*all* the important files you need.  It's truly a no-brainer!
