Guest tisonlyi Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Please be gentle, it's my first time. i downloaded the linux tar.gz from the mozilla.org front page link. followed the instructions in the readme (./mozilla-installer) went through the motions and now... well... mozilla stills shows up as 1.1 :-/ i've started moz (1.1) fromt he menu, but when i try to just type mozilla at the command line, it hangs. go to the new /usr/local/mozilla directory and do similar... hangs. and help people? has there been an mdk rpm made somewhere?

fuzzylizard Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 When you install mozilla 1.2, it will install to a different location then the 1.1. This means that you will have two version of mozilla on your computer. Both should work side by side though. If you wait a few days, I am sure that either Mandrake, or Texstar, will release Mandrake specific rmps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Create a desktop shortcut and link to /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla That's what I did. That way you can keep both versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Well.. texstar has created a test mozilla 1.2 with XFT built in. It's not in the typical directory, but it's located here http://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distribut...0-1tex.i586.rpm If I were you, I'll be a bit wary about installing this one. I have mozilla 1.1 working nicely with antialiasing on and so on. The good thing about texstar's rpm that it is installed in a different directory than mandrake mozilla 1.1 so at lleast you can uninstall it without affecting mozilla 1.1 that much. But since it iis a first release and require you to have XFT, it may not work as well as you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMage Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Can you try running it from a terminal by typing /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla and see what the error message is? I mean.. I installed texstar version of Mozilla 1.2.1 and all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
