HI,

I am using red hat linux 6.1 , kernel version 2.2.12-20 and I have just managed to configure it for internet access.

I used the netscape navigator but i was not really satisfied with it and i have been trying to upgrade it. While doing so i came up with some questions.

Following are my questions:(some may be very
basic....but i could not find a direct answer on the internet)

1) how do i find out what is the current version of the netscape navigator in linux.

2) i downloaded the latest version of netscape for linux BUT when i ran the file ns-install it gave me an error saying "no action taken". what is the reason for
this error?

3) there are instructions given on how to install it wihtout using ns-install but i was wondering if i have to uninstall the current version??And how do i do that??

4)Also if i have to uninstall any particular software in linux ..how is it done?

5) is there any better browser to use for the linux platform?

thanks,
Ranjit
