Well, I had driven home to me how much more I need to get organized.... A desktop notebook needs a little more, it seems, than a nice stable server. I have to learn about using the CentOS-Plus repository and some 'beta' rpm stuff... I did the install: rpm -Uhv thunderbird-1.5.0.2-0.1.EL4.centos4.i386.rpm I downloaded the rpm as a user, but ran the rpm SUed. Three problems: Does not fix my MOZ_NO_REMOTE problem. No ICON associated in the window (running gnome). When I do an extensions check update, I get a whole bunch of language extenstions listed that cannot be checked as: Update not supported (install location is read only). Oh and this compose window and the extensions window also lack their icons. Is there a beta 4.4 list where I should point this out?
