Somebody else may be able to explain exactly what a zombie is but you don't need to worry about it. You just need to delete the lock file as stated in the Netscape error message. It should list the correct path to it. Greg

It appears to just be a zombie. Are you sure that the reason you can't start netscape is because of the process id or a lock file?
You can still start netscape if you hit ok on the warning message. To get rid of that message delete /home/rolando/.netscape/lock.
