You should just edit the menus. You'll find menu editors somewhere in the menus. Point them to your newly installed version. > How do I remove the old mozilla, or better yet just "upgrade"? you can remove it, but the dependancies could be deeper then you think. Also, those things dependant on that version (like Galeon) likely wouldn't be able to handle the newer version. > I was told to do use this command: > rpm -e --force mozilla > > But get message stating "rpm: only instillation, upgrading, rmsorce and > rmspec may be forced" You would normally use a "--nodeps" instead of a force. The two flags are used for different types of situations. So a... rpm -e --nodeps mozilla will remove that package (you likely will be left with 7 or 8 more related packages). Also doing so will probably break something, but it may not be anything you care about. An "rpm -qa | grep mozilla" will show you how many related packages there are. -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
