Hi I installed my Netscape 7.01 over my previous installation and it is working fine, although they recommend no to do so. Anyway I did it and it worked. About Java I have no idea I haven't installed java separately and everything is working so I suppost it works. Jose Linux Mail wrote:

TIA Leo

The previous version of Java has problems with some things according to their web site, they recommend 1.4. When I install Netscape (or Mozilla), I always rename the directory and create a new /opt/netscape (/opt/mozilla) and install in there. Any plugins can be copied over from the plugins directory. That way, links still work, icons still work from users, etc. If there is a problem, renaming puts it back to previous.
