Help Installing Netscape

[New2Mac0403]

First off let me say that I just got my first Mac and I am not at all familiar with Mac's or Mac specific terms as of yet. I received an older Imac which I upgraded to 256Mb of Ram and Installed OS10.2 with the "erase and intsall" option to reformat it.

That said, I realy realy like this OS a lot. My first foray into downloading software has not gone well however. I have tried to download and install Netscape 6.21. After I downloaded it I had a Netscape 2-macosX.smi file on my desktop. I double-clicked this and it created a new icon on my desktop that looks like a hard disk labeled Netscape 6 for Max OSX. When I open this 2nd Icon i see a directory labeled Netscape and the following text next to it:

"To install, just copy this folder to your hard disk"

I then copied the folder and pasted it to my hard disk under System/Library. When I click on the Netscape icon to launch it, the netscape loading splash screen comes up and here's my problem, it procedes to extract 170+ files to my desktop and the program itself never launches.

If anyone could help me learn what I'm doing wrong I would realy appreciate it. I've tried searching through the forums but have not seen anything like this so I'm assuming it's my inexperience that is creating problem. Thank you for the help and I apologize for the lengthy post.

Take it out of the Library and put it in the Application folder.

And generally store your applications in Application folder.

I moved the Netscape Directory under applications and I'm receiving the same problem. Am I still missing something?

Thanks for the help.
