um, im still a bit new to this, but this is the response i got:

[root@# rpm -ql netscape-navigator

/etc/X11/applnk/Internet/netscape-navigator.desktop

/usr/bin/netscape-navigator

/usr/lib/netscape/netscape-navigator

i must admit i"m a bit lost with what to do from here, sorry for the lack of knowledge, but i tried to get the one from the netscape website going, but after i did the tar -zxf thing, nothing more really happened and i had no idea how to get it running from there, as there was nothing that really stuck out saying 'press me to run' !!!!

yep! worked a treat!

thanks for the help, it would have taken me forever to learn that myself. thanks especially for the rapid response to my question.

cheers,

I have recently put in the rpm's for netscape, namely netscape-navigator-4.8-3.norlug.i586.rpm and netscape-common-4.8-3.norlug.i586.rpm. they were downloaded, and seemed to go in with no problems, but i can't find where to start navigator in the menu system and i have no idea how to start it in a shell, or to check if it is there. i am running mandrake 2005 and am very happy with it, but I need netscape running to be able to do internet banking, so I can then get rid of windows completely...

I'm hoping its just an easy mistake or omission on my part that will fix this, but i still find the installing thing a bit weird coming from a windows background.

thanks in advance for any help that can be provided,

thanks for the help pmpatrick! I have jsut entered the commands, but I am off to work now, and downloading something, so I will have to wait until tonight to reboot and see if it comes up (not worried about your information, just my typing!) Thanks for the help, its the community feeling that makes linux rock

I am a fairly new linux convert, still having some basic troubles...

I have recently got my Belkin f5d7000 card working in mandrake 10.2, and have made a small script called 'wireless.sh' to configure things like essid, encryption key and route to use. I have to run this every time I boot up in order to get the wireless working. Is there a way to make this script run by itself on startup? I am using kde and saw a post somewhere here that said to put the file in home/user/.kde/Autostart - which I did, but nothing happened and I still have to start the script myself. I ticked the box in the properties part of the script (in Konqueror) to enable the file to be executable, and the permissions are set correctly I think... I need to be root to run the script in a terminal, so maybe this could be the problem? Any help would be wildly appreciated, I love linux for the way it can be configured to do what I want, but I lack the knowledge to do this stuff straight up.

once again, thanks
