mkdir /opt
mkdir /opt/netscape
mv netscape_that_you_downloaded.tar.gz /opt/netscape
cd /opt/netscape
gzip -dc netscape_that_you_downloaded.tar.gz | tar -vxf-
ln -s /opt/netscape/netscape /usr/local/bin/netscape

Make a button for Netscape:

*FvwmButtons(Title Netscape, Icon netscape.xpm, \
        Action 'Exec "Netscape" netscape -geometry 1014x740 &')

Click on the button.    :)

...of course you should not just blindly follow the
above example but tailor the settings acordingly to
your system configuration, e.g. you might want to put
it in your home directory or /usr/local/netscape or
your button settings can be different.
