where did  you download the file to?  did you tar from same directory? it sounds 
like it is not seeing your gz file.

I cannot reproduce on RH 7.2

Steps to reproduce:

1. u/pmac/builds
2. creat a new folder in the build directory. 
3. mkdir 101205094
4. it would be like this /u/pmac/builds/101205094
5. download the installer to that folder on step 4.
6. tar xvzf " netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz".
Grace,I tar the same directory which /u/pmac/builds/101205094

maybe you did not get whole file? Can you try again?  Neither K'Trina nor I can 
reproduce.
