Soccer,
Linux doesnt usually have a "uninstall" feature unless you install a program with something like a RPM. In this case Netscape whichever version it is, is run from directories and placed in your $PATH (/usr/bin in most cases) You can look for the directories by typing "whereis netscape" and making note of the directories and remove (rm foobar) from each dir.

You might be able to gather some information as to where stuff is installed from the Makefile. Also, some make files have options to "make uninstall."
