OK - found tha answer: it is mozilla-bin not mozilla that starts the program. Hmmm - but have lost my book marks and settings and the old links no longer work - so i will need to do some tweaking.

[newbie] Mozilla won't run - diagnosis needed
Hi I have just used-red carpet to upgrade a few new Mozilla related programs available through red-carpet. Red-carpet reported that all went ok - however Mozilla browser would not start after that. I am not sure exactly what happened. I type Mozilla in the command line as user or root and it just goes back to the prompt - nothing. I tried to reinstall what looked like a later Mozilla - but that could not happen because of dependencies. I then tried to un-install some and that meant too many files would go with it. I have kpackage which suggests that nothing new was installed at all giving the install date as a couple of months ago. How does one tackle a situation like this? In Windows I would delete and re-install (probably the whole OS occasionally. There must be a way to diagnose and fix in Linux - actually the delete and reinstall seems impossible anyway. Any clues about anything here would be good as i am still new. = My Machine = Dell i8100 laptop ATI Radeon 7500 Mobility Mandrake 8.1 Linux 2.4.9-13smp i686 [ELF] Upgraded to Xfree86 4.2.0 Walter -- Walter Logeman Psychotherapist http://www.psybernet.co.nz Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
