Hi Keith,I think playing with mozilla and expecially with Galeon,it is always
a big deal because sometimes you get problems about different Gnome
version,libs and so on,infact (as you can read on a previous message I sent)
trying to update galeon and mozilla to the latest versions distribuited by
updates.redhat,I met a lot of problems.
By using a 1.3 mozilla rpm packaged for RHL-7.3 I noticed a problem about the
"open-file" command which resulted inactive.
The present 1.2 version installed using mozilla-installer keeps going
flawlessly.
I'm using the following packages for Red Hat apt:
[marco@(protected) marco]$ rpm -qa|grep apt
apt-devel-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2
apt-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2
Thanks,Marco
