I downloaded the netscape 6 tar file from the netscape.com site. I did the

tar xvzf netscape blah blah.tar.gz

and it appeared to work fine. I logged in a root and went into file manager and double-clicked on the netscape-installer file and it started installing and it took freaking forever. I actually had time to start it, go eat dinner, and watch Malcom... and it was still not done. Is this normal?

Are you connected to the Internet? It's probably downloading the rest of the program. When I tried to install netscape 6, I couldn't cause all I had was the installer program, and since I wasn't connected to the internet, it couldn't download the rest when I tried to install it.

Yes, I am on a cable modem so I am connected, I think it was just bad timeing. I am going to try it again maybe first thing in the morning so hopefully not as many people are on the server. I will let you know tomorrow.
