RE: Upgrading Netscape 4.79 to 6.2

[Chris Caron <ccaron cybercaron com>]

Update, I reinstalled to the default dir. (/usr/local/netscape) once that 
was done I could isolate the exec. file. I had the right exec., I guess 
what was throwing me was the profile select window.  I expected to go 
directly to navigator.

Does anyone know how to bypass Navigator's profile menu?

Where do I modify the paths so when I type Netscape it goes to the new 
install instead of the old.

Lastly, What is the procedure for uninstalling applications.  (Netscape 
4.79)

Thanks for helping the nitwit.

Chris

Which directory did yuo unpack the tarball?
When I upgraded to Netscape 6.22, I unpacked it in /usr/local/netscape
and the executable is  /usr/local/netscape/netscape
