Hidong sorry for this rather late answer ... As David was already writing in this thread (if I understood him correctly :) you don't need an rpm for Mozilla to install it.

Following is a part of the install notes on http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.0/ ----------------------------------------------- "1. Create a directory named " mozilla1.0.RC3 " (mkdir mozilla1.0.RC3) and change to that directory (cd mozilla1.0.RC3 ). 2. Click the link to download the non-installer mozilla*.tar.gz file into the mozilla1.0.RC3 directory. 3. Change to the mozilla directory (cd mozilla1.0.RC3 ) and decompress the file with the following command: gunzip -dc moz*.tar.gz | tar -xvf [ ... or as I did, if I read my bash_history correctly: tar zxvf moz*.tar.gz --W.P. ] - (This creates a "mozilla" subdirectory under your mozilla1.0.RC3 directory.) 4. Change to the mozilla directory (cd mozilla). 5. Run Mozilla with the ./mozilla run script." -------------------------------------------------- The point is that this new release, tho ,as it seems to me, having been built mainly for i686 machines, even on my relatively slow i585 machine is running faster than the previous release candidate, which was a 1.0rc1 (?), IIRC ... and this last point is definitely a good reason for me to install a new version, as the previous release I had was slower than the new one is ... So if you like Mozilla, I'd really try the very latest release .. :) The only drawback for this install method seems to me, that I still do not know how to fulfill the rule that the mozilla folks tell in one of their README files from another source: "For all platforms, install into a clean (new) directory. Installing on top of previously released builds may cause problems. " But by following this last rule I still don't see a possibility how future Mozilla installs (i.e. installed by the method from above) atomatically could read my old Mozilla bookmarks, preferences files etc if I install these future Mozillas into a fresh directory ... I'll wait and see (and save my current Mozilla preferences files for future releases :) But: at least this last install (1.0rc3) read my old user .mozilla files from the previous rpm install ....
