I've been considering getting the $99 non-commercial package after Christmas if
I still have some financed available.  What I'm curious about is this - it it
easy to get the necessary libraries to run DU Netscape/Acrobat/etc. off the CD?
 I really don't want to install or run DU, I just want to be able to legally run
a fast version of Netscape.  Mozilla's getting there (and is in fact what I use
right now for browsing on my Alphas), but it's not as useful to me currently as
having Netscape would be.

So, has anyone bought the $99 DU just for the libraries yet?  And if so, any
trouble getting what you need to run Netscape?  $99 does seem a large price to
pay to run a "free" program, though.
