If so you can do the following: cd /usr/ports/www ls (lots of netscape versions possible) cd your_preferred_netscape_version make install clean (you need to do this as root) The same can be done for Mosaic if you prefer. If you didn't install the ports collection you can install Netscape or Mosaic through the packages collection. If you have it on CD you need to find the appropriate package CD and do a pkg_add. If you want to install via the internet you can do the following: pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.2.7/www/mosaic-2.7b5.tgz (all one line) or pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.2.7/www/netscape-3.04.tgz (all one line again) or pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.2.7/www/netscape- communicator-4.05.tgz (all one line again) or pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.2.7/www/netscape- navigator-4.05.tgz (all one line again) Brett ****************************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ "There is something uncanny in the noiseless rush of the cyclist, as he comes into view, passes by, and disappears." - Popular Science, 1891 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
