Netscape for Linux does not directly support offline browsing. But you
can use wwwoffle, a small proxy server that caches the pages you
visited so you can look at them afterwards.

Or, you could always download the website to your local disk for later
viewing if you want.

Use the 'wget' command. for example, to download http://java.sun.com
do:

    wget --tries=5 -x -c -v -r -k  http://java.sun.com

see man wget for more options.

make sure you have enough disk space :)
