Hi; |

|
20 |
Netscape 4 is really an entirely differnt beast than |
21 |
netscape 6, no? The net-www/navigator and net-www/netscape |
22 |
targets should remain, but if a netscape 6 ebuild is made, |
23 |
it should be in 'netscape-6' and/or 'navigator-6'. |
24 |
I bet you would like to have it the other way around, |
25 |
but I think the 'classic' netscape should be the 'default' |
26 |
for now. |
27 |
Of course, having netscape-4 and netscape-6 is |
28 |
also acceptable. Make 'netscape' a symlink to the one thats |
29 |
most reasonably the 'real' netscape. |

I think in a later post, you reverse this opinion? |
37 |
Spider isnt clear on this either. (Is this why the version of |
38 |
navigator is *4.08* instead of 4.7x ?) |
39 |
As far as the gui installer goes, is there a |
40 |
click-through license agreement? I dont think the ebuild system |
41 |
allows you do stuff before downloading the target... but that |
42 |
would be the best place to be confronted with an accept or |
43 |
not prompt. |
