Dear friends:

If you would like to download the Red Hat 6 src.rpm file for the recent 
Mozilla 0.8.1 of March 26 (compatible with LM72), go to:

http://people.redhat.com/blizzard/software/RH6/SRPMS/

The exact name of the file is:

mozilla-0.8.1-1.src.rpm 06-Apr-2001 02:10  29.9M 

This will allow you to rebuild the src.rpm as your own full suite of mozilla 
files (mozilla, mozilla-psm, mozilla-mail, mozilla-developer). If you have an 
AMD K6-2 as I do, you will be able to rebuild the RH file as i586 files. I 
have been told that performance should dramatically improve and you should (I 
hope) have no error messages.

I mention this partly because, in spite of assurance to the contrary, the 
Texstar rpm version of mozilla 0.8.1 (rebuilt from the Cooker directory, 
which uses rpm version 4) yielded the error messages: "runtime mismatch, so 
leaking context." I am not a programmer, just an ordinary user, but when I 
tried to use the Texstar mozilla 0.8.1, it repeatedly crashed or froze. I was 
very unhappy and went right back to mozilla 0.8 (also available on the 
Texstar site -- and the 0.8 version worked very well).

You might wish to bookmark the Red Hat site for future versions of Mozilla, 
especially the long-awaited upcoming "recommended beta" version .9 and, then, 
of course, version 1.0.

Yours,

Benjamin
