Color me dense, but I'm missing something - maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I decided to install Mozilla 1.6. The documentation says to remove earlier versions - I have 1.5 installed with a set of RPM files from FC1. But I can't remove those RPMS - there are dependencies on open-office, gaim etc.
Just for the heck of it, I went ahead and installed 1.6 - and it does install. But I still can't get rid of 1.5...
Questions:
1) Should I be able to delete 1.5 without removing other applications or is mozilla tied that closely to other pieces of software?
2) Have I completely screwed up my system by having multiple instances of mozilla wholly or partially installed?
I looked at some bug reports but I did not see anything related to this - but I may well have missed something.
Thanks in advance,

Dear Neil,
There is a way to get rid of the old version, but that is risky.
rpm -e --nodeps mozilla*
I leave the new mozilla in /usr/local/mozilla and forget about the old one. I also made a symbolic link from /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla -> /usr/local/bin/mozilla. Still fighting to get the right Java plugin, but that is something else.
