I managed to install Firefox 2.0 from an RPM site on the Internet which
said it was for FC4, and it is working fine, so that ticket I filed can
be ignored unless the CentOS 4.4 developers want to create an RPM
specifically for CentOS 4.4. I don't think I broke anything as the only
other package dependency that the installation needed is 'cairo' and I
did not notice that in the default CentOS 4.4 repositories, but if I did
it is on me and I will definitely not be bothering any of the CentOS 4.4
people about it.
Thanks for your help !
