Stupid Netscape Question

[Wes McRae]

Can anyone think of a reason why when I try to install Netscape it hangs the
machine hard?  I've checked to make sure the nls directory exists--already
there.  At least, I assume I'm still trying to install:  the README just says
to install, unpack the .tar file--done--and run the resulting executable.  At
this point, my machine thrashes, then crashes.  Whether the executable is 
part of the install or is just the netscape executable is not specified.  If
this is a common question, I would be perfectly happy if someone would just 
point me to the proper FAQ/man/whatever rather than having to drag it through
the list.  The version I received from netscape.com was listed as being for
Linux 1.1.59:  I wouldn't think that using 1.2.13 instead would cause it to 
crap out.

My system is plain vanilla:  386, all IDE, VGA, 8M RAM, ethernetted through
residence on a NE2000 clone.  Running the standard Slackware 3.0.0
distribution, no surprises.

It's entirely possible that I have completely misunderstood the workings of
Netscape, and need some other piece of WWW software for it to talk to.  If this
is so, I apologize.

Is there a web HOWTO, for setting up www servers and such?  I haven't seen one
around, but I've been using my hardcopies mostly and haven't looked much for 
new stuff.

thanks,
wes
