-   You would be much better off with Mozilla, which is the open source version of
Netscape.

Simply type 'urpmi mozilla' at a console as root and then it will appear under
'K/Networking/WWW'

If you still want to install Netscape, there should be an 'install' file in the directory
that was created when you untar'd the file. If not, there will be a README file.

-   You can open up a console and type 'which netscape' and it will give the
location.

You can add it to your menu by using 'kmenuedit'

And to use mail with mozilla, you simply install the 'mozilla-mail' rpm.
