OK, something else just happened.
I started Netscape, and with the upgrade to 6.2, it asked to accept the
license and proceeded to bring up version 4.7.2.
After I rebooted, because of changing Lilo to see all of my RAM, restarting
Netscape brought up the license screen again, but now it was back to
version 4.7.
Doing a "rpm -q netscape" says that netscape is not installed, which is
definately incorrect.
1. What happened to version 4.7.2
2. rpm says that netscape-communicator-4.72-6 is installed, but the about
box says that it is only 4.7.
Sigh.

Not sure but is it possible to have both the navigator and communicator RPMs
installed? maybe the wrong one is getting executed. I never have looked at
the script that launches it.
BTW my about box (which is really a htmlpage) shows quite plainly Communicator
4.73. hmmm I guess I should upgrade, (rpms at the office already )
What does rpm -qa|grep navigator show? any stray rpms in there?
What about netscape -verison from the command line?

Your command line is definitely incorrect, too. Try:
rpm -qa | grep netscape
You should have netscape-common, netscape-communicator, and maybe even
netscape-navigator. If you do have netscape-navigator in addition to
netscape-communicator, check the program to which your launcher points.

it's not 4.7.2.. it's either 4.7-2 (RPM package) or 4.72. :) There is a
difference.

Not sure what the rpm 4.72.6 showed.
What about
$ rpm -qf `which netscape`
mine found the right package:
netscape-common-4.73-1
Not a explaintion but I would probably go ahead and upgrade
to the latest (4.75 I think) and see what happens.
You might try to verify the packages too. and see if anything falls out.

rpm -e netscape-navigator followed by "rpm -Uvh netscape-communicator
netscape-common"
