Probably you are installing from an X sesion opened for an user? Exit X,
log again as root, and try. I have both mozilla and netscape installed:
mozilla from the suse rpm packages, and Netscape 7 from outside, with it's
own install program, on /opt/netscape7. I think I also have netscape 4.7
from suse's rpms as well.

After netscape is installed as root, you may use it as normal user. If you
have mozilla installed previously, both mozilla and netscape7 will use the
same configuration files and directories.
