Subject: Re: 1st question - installing java on Mandrake
Click on the file Firefox-Installer, it will install firefox.
As far as rpm's go, once you download the rpm that you need, you will
open the Mandrake version of Install/Remove software and direct the
program to your file. I have not used Mandrake in years but I thought it
was called HardDrake
