while trying to install Netscape six I could only put in, a couple of weeks ago, /home/me/netscape were "me" is my log on name . I just tried to reinstall Netscape 6 without "instant messenger" hoping it might run a little faster (every bit helps). it try's to put it in /usr/local/netscape it appears to go through the motions of a install of about six files but when I look in /usr/local/netscape/ the directory is empty. the readme file tell you to use or type in from the text mode ./netscape-installer but when I try this even less happens. the only way I can get anywhere is from graphical mode right click => netscape-installer (file) =>open with => run in terminal => OK. (beats me why test mode does not have OK (just joking)) If I could remember the code to send error messages from the screen in text mode into a error.txt file I could post this error message on the group I think it goes something like ./netscape-installer >~ error.txt or is it ./netscape-installer ~> error.txt I am looking forward to the days when my hours at Linux don't get converted to equivalent hours of frustration. and use Linux-computer as a productive tool.
