I just received a copy of Netscape Communicator 4.04 on CD-ROM.
I followed the readme file but cannot get the program to run.I unzipped the
tar file and moved the files into their suggested directories and am now at
a loss. The installation instructions are very vague. Can someone help me
with this? I am using Linux Redhat version 5.0.

The version is installing to the /usr/local/netscape directory (as the
128 bits version that I downloaded without RPM support). If you changed
it to another directory, it*up my system when I tried.
The way to install TAR is to first "gunzip
name_of_the_program_that_is_long.tgz". After, you tar xvf into a
temporary directory. After you install it with "ns-install". It will
delete automatically most of the gunzipped files (installation files).
You can delete the rest.
I hope it help!

1. Can't install Yggdrasil summer 94 CD-ROM with SCSI-1 CD-ROM
Hi,
I can't install my Yggdrasil summer 94 CD-ROM with the following SCSI
related configuration :
1) 1 Adaptec 1542C controller
2) 1 240MB SCSI-2 hard disk
3) 1 Sound Blaster 16 AIC-6360 sound card
4) 1 NEC SCSI-1 CD-ROM (I say it is SCSI-1 because ezscsi.exe provided by
Adaptec detects it as a SCSI-1 one without support for parity checking).
I have tried to install Linux with the following two configurations :
1) connect the CD-ROM to SB16 card and the hard disk to 1542C controller :
I typed the command
Linux aha152x=0x340,11,7,1
to boot Linux but failed after a long period of detecting my CD-ROM
and dumped a lot of messages about the queue status.
I noticed that the parity checking is enabled.
2) connect the CD-ROM and hard disk to 1542C with parity checking disabled
while just connect the sound output from CD-ROM to SB16 card only :
I used the default booting process and it failed a lot faster and told
me that it can't mount the CD-ROM (kernel panic : unable to mount VFS).
These two configurations work fine under both OS/2 2.1 and DOS/Windows.
Now I need help to the following questions :
1) How can I install Linux using this CD-ROM with such config ?
2) Which other CD-ROM distribution can I use to install Linux ?
One of the major reasons to buy CD-ROM is to run Linux. Failing to do so
frustrated me a lot. Please help me !
Thanks in advance,
Eddie
