I ve tried to install new mozilla version built for
rpm(mozilla-1.2.1_xft*.rpm) and failed.
The way I did:
1. uninstall mozilla-1.0.1.i386.rpm and relevant pkg (default by rh80)
#rpm -e mozilla*.rpm
note: can not remove 2 pkgs :
	+ mozilla-nss*.rpm
	+ mozilla-nspr*.rpm due to dep. w/ evolution
2. install mozilla1.2.1*.rpm:
there are 2 pkgs in the circle of dep. those are:
mozilla-nss-1.2.1.0.rh8.i386.rpm and mozilla-nspr-1.2.1.0rh8.i386.rpm
That means once I install this one, then dep./ need by that one and vice
versa.
a hint is very appreciated!
extra question:
I installed mozilla-1.2.1.0.i386.tar.gz file in /usr/local/mozilla. Then
link mozilla to /usr/bin: #ln -s /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla
/usr/bin/mozilla.
However, every time I open one more mozilla app. (not from the existed
one), it always ask me a {profile manager}, means the default has been
used, create new one please.
How can I fix that problem?
thanks

It would have been quicker to RTFM, but here goes:

"rpm -Uhv mozilla*.rpm"    Thats -U for upgrade.

Not sure I'm following your English there.
It sounds like you already have one copy of mozilla running.
Exit the old one first.
