Ack...sorry, did I miss somewhere in the thread that you guys were
talking about FC 2? One of the hazards of having multiple versions out
now.

I just checked the main FC repository for FC 2 and indeed Firefox 1.0 is
not yet there. I also looked at DAG's system and it is not there yet
either.

I am unsure of the use of FC3 RPMS on FC2 and it is likely to be
specific to the particular application and the associated dependencies,
since FC 3 is using newer versions the kernel and many libraries, etc.

I suppose one (better) option would be to attempt to build the Firefox
1.0 SRPM and see if that is successful or not. That might give you a
hint. The SRPM is at:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/SRPMS/firefox-1.0-2.fc3.src.rpm

or from your local mirror as well.

HTH,

Marc
