Don't upgrade Mozilla until there's an RPM from Mandrake that satisfies all dependencies required, or; Don't use Galeon if you want the newest version of Mozilla, or; Keep an eye on Ximian for their update that will (probably) include Mozilla1 and a new version of Galeon that uses it. Something I'm not certain of would be the possibility of building Galeon from source with Mozilla1 installed. I'll try and figure out how this may work or if it will this weekend. Just for grins 'n' giggles ya see. I ain't a developer by any stretch; and while I may hack my own system to death I won't touch, or recommend anything such as that for someone else's. This machine; while the only one I have at home, is not any kind of "mission critical" system. I play with it and learn by doing/trying (back-ups are my friend) plus I have 4 60 GB hard drives to play the "back-up, fiddle 'til ya kill it; then restore from back-up" game with. Not a luxury many people would have available I'd be thinking. If I kill an install it doesn't take long to recover most times. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org The characteristic property of hallucinogens, to suspend the boundaries between the experiencing self and the outer world in an ecstatic, emotional experience, makes it possible with their help, and after suitable internal and external preparation...to evoke a mystical experience according to plan, so to speak... I see the true importance of LSD in the possibility of providing material aid to meditation aimed at the mystical experience of a deeper, comprehensive reality. Such a use accords entirely with the essence and working character of LSD as a sacred drug. - Dr. Albert Hoffman, the discoverer of LSD
