      Save your fucktard hatred for technology for some forum that cares. Sheesh. Bitch bitch moan moan. People complain that for every little patch they have to download a full install, and then when patches are available "oh noes the evil mozilla viruses are coming after me!"

      Good damn grief. "Voice of all reason" indeed.

    What exactly is this Firefox thingy? How can I install it to my Internet Explorer?

    Huh? Do you mean RPMs for Mandriva, or Red Hat, or SUSE, or FooLinux? Because it's very rare for an RPM for one to work properly (if at all) on another. Different libraries, file locations, API breakage, glibc breakage, ABI breakage, GCC breakage...

    Until you give up and use a decently engineered system that has some form of stable platform, on which you can just install new apps without all this complication :-)

    I'm getting this now, too. I _thought_ RC3 was stable, but I can't keep 1.5 up for more than 1/2 hour or so before it pins the CPU (winXP).
