Only reason you would be getting this error is because there is a directory names /usr/bin/mozilla and its trying to create the symbolic link inside the mozilla subdirectory.
A directory and a file can't exist with the same name. LN -s is getting confused because it thinks you want to create a symbolic link in the mozilla directory that exists. I could recommend renaming the directories and changing the links, but maybe the easiest thing would be to is to create the symbolic link for mozilla in another diretcory on the path. Most distros have /usr/local/bin in the path. Hoping this is the case try doing something like this: ln -s /usr/bin/mozilla-1.6 /usr/local/bin/mozilla The idea is that there is probably not a directory called mozilla in /usr/local/bin. If this command works mozilla will be added to that directory as a link, and if the distro has /usr/local/bin in the path it should be found. The I recommend if that seems to work to cerate new desktop icons (I gave the method for konqueror in the other email).
