WHOA!! |

okay, we're going off on a tangent here. |
3 |
I don't want to make netscape 6 the DEFAULT BROWSER, |
4 |
I want to make netscpae 6.2.2 the DEFAULT BROWSER FOR NETSCAPE PRODUCTS. |
5 |
hence, if you did `emerge netscape`, or `emerge netscape-browser` it'd |
6 |
install netscape 6.2.2. |

|
8 |
I've talked to jnelson on irc. |
9 |
We pretty much came to the same conclusion that it's not that bad of an |
10 |
idea, and extremely possible. |
11 |
What would happen, is that netscape communicator 4.x would have the |
12 |
binary renamed netscape-communicator |
13 |
while netscape navigator 4.x would be renamed netscape-navigator |
14 |
then when you typed `netscape`, the browser that came up would be |
15 |
netscape 6.2.2. |
16 |
The only problem is the installer. It's evil. There's really no way to |
17 |
work around it though. |
18 |
about the only thing you can pull out and install manually (non-gui) is |
19 |
the JRE. |
20 |
I by no means want to replace konqueror, or mozilla, or galeon, or light |
21 |
(my personal favorite browser). |
22 |
is this clearer? |
23 |
|
24 |
Quite frankly, I don't care what browser you use. I wish there were a |
25 |
hundred browsers out there, and they were all standards compliant. |
26 |
Unfortunately, in the real world, that's not gonna happen. |
