I don't want to make netscape 6 the DEFAULT BROWSER, I want to make netscpae 6.2.2 the DEFAULT BROWSER FOR NETSCAPE PRODUCTS. hence, if you did `emerge netscape`, or `emerge netscape-browser` it'd install netscape 6.2.2. I've talked to jnelson on irc. We pretty much came to the same conclusion that it's not that bad of an idea, and extremely possible. What would happen, is that netscape communicator 4.x would have the binary renamed netscape-communicator while netscape navigator 4.x would be renamed netscape-navigator then when you typed `netscape`, the browser that came up would be netscape 6.2.2. The only problem is the installer. It's evil. There's really no way to work around it though. about the only thing you can pull out and install manually (non-gui) is the JRE. I by no means want to replace konqueror, or mozilla, or galeon, or light (my personal favorite browser). is this clearer? Quite frankly, I don't care what browser you use. I wish there were a hundred browsers out there, and they were all standards compliant. Unfortunately, in the real world, that's not gonna happen.
