Subject: Trying to get GUI'ed

Howdy, Y'all:

 I am trying to 'upgrade' from 'console' to GUI.
I think I have successfully installed XFree86/4.2.1.
I can 'startx' and I get a monochrome desktop with
a tiny clock and three windows; 'login', 'xterm', and 'xterm'.
I can toggle among three resolutions.

I want to run a browser, preferably Netscape
 (preferably v4.61 if available for linux).

What am I missing?
Where do I go for help to get from where I am to where I want to be?

Regards, Chuck
