There are few possibilties...depends what did you download? mozilla-installer or mozilla-i686-pc-gnu.tar.gz? if the later all you need to do is move it to your /home/~user name directory and untar it eg. gzip -d 'mozilla name' | tar xvf - and you should get package directory which has bin/mozilla...or gunzip 'mozilla name' then tar xvzf "mozilla name'.If you get the installer then you need to untar it same way and chmod u+x or chmod 755 'name' and run it ./'installer-whatever name' this will download mozilla *.xpi files and let you install to your choice of directory.If you think this is hard then head on to www.mozilla.org (http://www.mozilla.org) and follow install instructions.Hope this helps.

PLBlaze - JacksonWarren is trying to install Netscape 6, not Mozilla. Two different things.

Netscape and mozilla are practically one in the same. If you look at your Netscape directory, you'll see the word Mozilla used for several filenames.

I know that. They are very similar (Netscape 6 is based on a fork of Mozilla, a bit after M18 I think). But there are some differences -- one of which is the install procedure. And the Mozilla people don't appreciate people redirecting newbies to mozilla.org if they have problems with Netscape 6.

They are similar, but not the same. For example, Netscape 6 is not open source.
