I want to upgrade to 4.76 but there are 3 different packages: commons, communicator and navigator. I wonder if the commons package contains the other two?

Well, taking a look at the RPM on MDK 7.2.1, which contains Netscape 4.76, "common" is described as...

<STRONG>This package contains the files that are shared between the Netscape Navigator Web browser and the Netscape Communicator suite of tools (the Navigator Web browser, an e-mail client, a news reader and Web page editor). Install the netscape-common package if you're installing the netscape-navigator or the netscape-communicator program.</STRONG>

If you just want the browser, you'd have to install "common" and "navigator". If you want the browser, e-mail reader, and news reader, install "common" and "communicator".
