I tried compiling the source, and I got a fully functional browser out 
of the deal (actually best running browser I've ever tried) - but it 
didn't actually install anywhere I could find...  so after I closed the 
instance that opened automatically, I couldn't find the darned thing 
again... I'm a serious newbie to Linux (small miracle that I even 
managed to get the source to compile, I think...)  - so where did the 
install go?

I'm running Mandrake 8.1 w/ Ximian Desktop installed.
