Also recommend Dag Wieers' packages to streamline the process. He takes care of the symbolic links in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. I have: [root@tabb1 root]# rpm -qa | egrep "(j2|mozilla)" | sort j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag mozilla-1.6-8 mozilla-acroread-5.0.9-1.1.fc2.dag mozilla-j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag mozilla-mail-1.6-8 mozilla-nspr-1.6-8 mozilla-nss-1.6-8 Had to "rpm -e j2re-1_4_2_04" to get yum to install the Dag packages. It it won't upgrade to j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag although it seems to be a later version to the eyeball - something to do with sort order apparently.
