Yes, except unfortunately for the new beta release of Netscape-6.x. It
needs a bunch of libraries not included in the suse_linux package or any
of its dependents, such as libgtk-1.2.so.0, libgdk-1.2.so.0,
libgmodule-1.2.so.0, and libglib-1.2.so.0. Does anyone have another
SuSE sub-package that might contain one or more of these?
