Mozilla packages were 1.1. I have a shell script that works for RH 7.3 and
8.0 and installs mozilla 1.1, acrobat reader, Java SDK, sets up the Java
plugin,
installs plugger, installs the flash plugin, and finally installs the
real audio
plugin. Seems to work great with 8.0. After removing the locks,
all seemed to install properly.

OK. Will do. Cmd: rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps mozilla*1.1*rpm
