Any thoughts? Are there any reading materials that cover these things? While I'm on configurations, I'll say that I didn't have any problems when I upgraded to 9.1, but only when I did a fresh install (I, know, I should have left well enough alone, few people have accused me of consistently doing the smart thing). It has been suggested that I can give /home its own partition and install without touching the old stuff. I've also been told that the installer won't upgrade applications whose config files have been modified. So it seems to me that learning how to tweak the files myself is the only way to have the new version, with the configuration that actually worked.

Re: [newbie] Mozilla problem
AFAIK it's a server misconfiguration. I had a similiar problem here when I put some ogg files on my server. In the apache config I added ogg to the mp3 ID (you know, to give them an icon).. and all ogg's that were downloaded were seen as mp3's, and renamed that way too. With the iso's I think they are identified as binaries, and maybe on M$ servers thay are given the extention of .exe. I could be wrong about this, but when I removed ogg from the config here, apache didn't know what file it was and didn't identify it as anything, and they got downloaded as .ogg ;-) Ralph On Thu, 29 Aug 2002, Raffaele Belardi wrote: Something similar happens to me also with mozilla 1.0 on W2K.

yup, Mozilla for win32 adds .exe to the end of pretty much all file types it doesn't recognise.. just remove the .exe and you'll be fine..
