Ditto.  I've had some good experiences like Steve below with Mozilla's
installer.  Don't forget that to install flash and java you may need
some extra steps.  Flash is pretty straight forward, follow the README.
You will need to download and install jre from java.sun.com .  Then
create a symlink from
/usr/java/jre1.3.1_01/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so to you
mozilla plugin directory, for me:

"ln -s /usr/java/jre1.3.1_01/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/ "

To give credit where it's due, someone on #mandrake on
irc.openprojects.org helped me figure this out.  You can get help there
too if you need it, try xhcat from the networking menu.
