1. delete /usr/local/mozilla (don't know if it is necessary)
2. run the mozilla-installer you downloaded and untarred, as root
3. run mozilla as root, exit after it starts
4. run as normal user.
5. update the links to the plugins (Flash, Java...) under the 'plugin' diretcory, as root
One important thing: the installer creates under /usr/local/mozilla a number of directories and files. For some reason, the 'components' directory gets created with wrong attributes, so mozilla can run only for root. Before you can run as normal user, you need to
# chmod og+rx components
as root.

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?
