I encountered the same problem and had to try several times before 
I got it to install

The really annoying thing is that I only found the full install
by accident while I was looking around their help information.
It is not well presented as an option to their default install

What impressed you?  What did you like about the new Netscape?

What do you think of the new look?  Personally I very much agree
with Martin's post and feel that the default look is just plain
ugly and depressing.  Is there anyone else who feels the same way?

Also, are there any others who feel that the new Netscape 6 is too
much like AOL with too much integrated into it?  I haven't yet 
installed the Linux version of Netscape and have only seen the
Windows version here at work.  Can anyone tell me if the Linux
version has the AOL advertising that tries to persuade the user
to sign up with AOL and does it also have Net2Phone integrated?

More important, does the Linux version require the user to register
with or login to Netscape Netcenter in order to active Netscape 6?
How do others feel about this?
