I've downloaded several versions of Mozilla, just regular tar balls, and extracted them to my home directory. Right now I have Mozilla 1.4 and 1.5, in ~/mozilla and ~/moz-1.5, respectively. To run each, I have a menu entry in E to ~/mozilla/mozilla and ~/moz-1.5/mozilla. I have done this with moz 1.3, firebird, beonex-com (moz based), and thunderbird (moz based mail/news standalone). While this does not really deal with the issue at hand, it does suggest that if you find the binary you want, you can execute it with the full path, eg /path/to/mozilla and /path/to/firebird. If none of that works, just get the tarballs from mozilla.org. Don't bother installing them, (unless you need system-wide, in which case extract to /usr/local/ or /opt/ ) just extract and run. -- -johann koenig Now Playing: Rage Against The Machine - Kick Out The Jams (Live) : Renegades Today is Sweetmorn, the 12nd day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3169 My public pgp key: http://mental-graffiti.com/pgp/johannkoenig.pgp
