The >permissions of the executable are, When you run mozilla from a prompt as regular user, what messages do appear, if any? That might shed some light.

[newbie] Can only run mozilla as root
Hi I downloaded mozilla RPMs on my daughter's computer into her /home directory and installed them with rpmdrake. libnspr4-1.6-12mdk.i586 libnss3-1.6-12mdk.i586 mailcap-2.0.4-12mdk.noarch mozilla-1.6-12mdk.i586 I can only start the browser from the konsole if I su to root. The permissions of the executable are, ls -l /usr/bin/mozilla -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6603 Mar 22 11:14 /usr/bin/mozilla* the same as on my box, where it runs properly. I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't run. Cheers, Scott Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
