Isn't there some way I can just find out what packages I need, download them using a download programme line d4x , stick the packages in a directory all by themselves, cd to the diesctory sources, and urpmi to install them for me.Well, it would seem I remain completely baffled by this urpmi setup business.
I thought I found mozilla1.4 here, seems I am mistaken.
I don't think I am going to ever learn these mysterious incantations of a masonic rights of passage crossword puzzle of a command line.

OK you want mozilla 1.4
Mozilla 1.4 is in Texstars urpmi repository. How do I know? Because I looked in http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/mandrake/9.1/rpms/
If you have already defined Texstar as a urpmi source, then you need to update your local lists of the source contents. The command to do that is urpmi.update -a (the -a means update all online sources)
Your local database will then know that mozilla 1.4 is in the texstar source.
Now urpmi mozilla will cause your mozilla to be updated to the most recent version listed in your sources (which will be 1.4 from texstar). Alternatively you could use the rpmdrake GUI to install mozilla.
If you were to make a weekly cron job containing the command 'urpmi.update -a', then you would be able to always find the most recent version of the packages you are interested in using either urpmi or rpmdrake (webmin is good for creating cron jobs)
