I now have Mozilla 0.98 and Galeon 1.0.3, which came as RPMs with
Mandrake 8.2. I need to update them to more recent version. In the case
of Mozilla, I need also to install the Spanish language pack, which I
have been unable to do with 0.98. As best I can tell from reading
previous messages on this list, I should:

1. Download recent Mozilla and Galeon RPMs, preferably mdk specific
ones. Perhaps from Texstar's site?
2. Upgrade Mozilla and Galeon. Test.
3. Install the Spanish language pack for Mozilla.

If anyone sees a problem with this plan, please speak up. I normally
prefer the trial and error approach, but this particular job must be
completed today without error or fail.

I've already downloaded Mozilla 1.2.1 and Galeon 1.2.8 as tarballs, but
after reading previous posts on this list I get the impression that I
would be better off with RPMs. One of these days I'll learn how to roll
my own RPMs from tarballs, but today's not the day.

The reason I need to upgrade Mozilla is not so much the limitations of
0.98 as the fact that I can't get the Spanish language pack to install
and I need a Spanish Mozilla working by OOB tomorrow for a course I'm
teaching. Rather than fight the language pack install with an old
version, it seems wiser to just upgrade to the current version.

Does anyone see any gotchas, or have any tips?
