Netscape 4.7 is the latest version of Netscape available for Linux/PPC distributions. LinuxPPC Inc. has released two versions of it: one with "export" strength encryption (56 bits, as required by U.S. law), and a "U.S." version with 128-bit encryption. Note that international users can upgrade an existing copy of Netscape to 128-bit encryption using the Fortify utility, discussed later in this document.
The international version is available for download at:
ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc-1999/software/notfree/netscape-4.7-1.ppc.rpm
Installing the new software
To install the new version of Netscape Communicator, log in to a console or terminal as root, and type
