After extracting the files: Move netscape to /usr/X11R6/bin Move the nls dir. to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 Move the XKeysymDB to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 Depending on whether you are running csh, ksh, or some other shell go into your .cshrc or .profile file and set these variables ksh: XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB csh: setenv XNLSPATH '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls' setenv XKEYSYMDB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB' After you start netscape for the 1st time: Move the moz3_0.zip into the .netscape dir. If you have done all of that then you have me stumped. syntax@eramp.net
