Thanks. Your instructions worked very well. I did not know to type the line 'xhost +localhost'. What does this do anyway?
Also, after clicking on a link I found that I needed to install Flash, which I did the same way. Seems kind of cumbersome compared to WindowsXP which automatically installs the plugin.
Lastly, is there a way to view Windows Media Files in Linux?
Thanks for all the help.
Jim

After installing Fedora Core 2 I tried to access the internet, but it said that Mozilla was not installed. I used the text browser ELinks
to
download the tar.gz file from the Mozilla website. Next, I
uncompressed
the file and tried to execute the mozilla-installer program, but Linux does not respond. What am I doing wrong?

You could just install the RPM.. but for the sake of furthering your familiarity with linux.. What exact tar ball did you get from mozilla.org?
(mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.7-installer.tar.gz) ? (md5sum: 0195e54f0f11ed18caae819bdff4925c)
If you are installing the browser system wide (If you are a using FC2 as a workstation, that's probably easiest).. you need to be root when you run
'mozilla-installer'
You also need to be in your GUI (KDE/Gnome).. and then it should show up OK. Try this:
wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7/mozil la-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.7-installer.tar.gz tar xfpz mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.7-installer.tar.gz cd mozilla-installer xhost +localhost ./mozilla-installer
It should popup a gui installation screen, prompt for what you want to install, and where to install it.
Let me know how it goes.
