The current version of netscape base on potato is
netscape-base-4, version 1:4.75-1.  I think this is later than the version
on the CDs.  I see there are also netscape-base-475 and netscape-java-475
packages as proposed upgrade packages on the Debian mirrors.

By the way, there were problems with the first release of the
potato CDs, in particular CD number 2, of which a new image has been
released last week some time.
