I'm trying to run Netscape browser under wine, too. I have been using
Netscape browser on Solaris, IRIX and Linux for years to access web
sites that uses graphics and frames. But I recently want to access
some fancy sites (web-banking), and I find that they're broken for
non-Windows platforms. They have no intention to tidy up the broken
contents to make them work on Netscape/Linux. So, I want to try
Netscape/Windows. I have tried Netscape/Windows/VMWare, and it works!
So, obviously, it's a problem related to OS. But VMWare is too heavy,
so, I consider Netscape/WINE.

Wow! You mean compiling Mozilla for Linux? Doesn't the Mozilla site
offer pre-compiled binaries for Linux? Or do you mean cross-compiling
Mozilla using the WINE library?
Anyway, I have tried downloading the Windows binary for Netscape 4 as
well as Netscape 6. Both failed to install under Wine, to my
disappointment. So, out of luck.

They don't install. I'm not sure if running them off a real Windows
partition would work, though.
