I just installed Netscape 6 on Redhat Linux

[jamesey]

I'm a bit of a n00b.
how do I run it? When i click on the netscape links, 4.7 still opens :-/

I installed it to the default location, but I dont know my way around enough to know where that it

Netspace 6.x or mozilla will be installed into /usr/local/mozilla by default.
Type /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla to launch it. However, the link does not
work.

Hi,

I think it depends on whether you run the 2.2 or 2.4 kernel. When I wanted to download netscape 6 the only option was to download it for
the 2.2 kernel

It should work just fine under a 2.4 kernel. Very few applications that I have messed with rely on a specific kernel version. And even if Netscape did, Mozilla is better anyhow and can work with 2.4 kernels (and every modern OS I can think of with the exception of OpenBSD).

This sounds like an issue with the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME environment variable (yes, I know you're not running Moz, but Netscape uses it too.) As Philippis said, you should be able start it by explicitly stating the path to the executable. If a symlink won't start it (or if the explicit command doesn't work), try "echo $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME" - that should point to the installation path. If not, look around for the path, and test it with "export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=<path>". Then you'll need to find where that variable is set in your config files - probably in /etc/profile - and change it.
