Note: the description in this article applies to pretty much anything
in the FreeBSD ports collection.  For more information, take a look at 
your FreeBSD handbook at

file://localhost/usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html

for the installed version, or

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html

on the master site.  Also, there is a "ports collection" page at:

http://ww.freebsd.org/ports

Go get the netscape "port" from the FreeBSD master site:

ncftp ftp.freebsd.org
cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/www
get netscape.tar.gz "|tar xvzf -"
^D

If you already have the original terball of ver. 2.01, put it in
/usr/ports/distfiles.  If not, don't worry.

Go into the directory you just created and do "make install":

cd netscape
make install

This will fetch (if necessary), install and set up all necessary links 
for you.

You can clean up the directory:

make clean

or entirely get rid of the "port"

cd ..
rm -rf netscape

Hope this helps.
