The last release is mozilla-1.0-rc1. Depending on your display the installation window may be too small for showing where mozilla is installed, you may have to enlarge it first. By default it installs itself in /usr/local/mozilla if you unpack a mozilla-xxx.tar.gz archive or /usr/local/netscape if you unpack a netscape-6-xxx.tar.gz. > The program > installs fine and comes up and running fine.

I wouldn't expect any automatic link installed. Just use kmenuedit and enter name 'Netscape-6' command line '/usr/local/netscape/netscape' (or /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla). > I have tried about 3 times to reinstall it with no luck. although the > third time I removed the old navigator icons from the KDE menu and it > was replaced with a new icon, but I get the old netscape.
