Firefox 3 RPMS Available

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Richard:

In order to install Firefox and clear the dependencies, I had to
uninstall a few apps. In particular, I uninstalled firefox-devel,
devhelp, yelp, and I think there were one or two others. You need to
decide whether you can live with this. To decide look at the output of:

rpm -qi [package.name]

To see if it's something you want or not.

As an example, I'm sure dumping firefox-devel will not be a
problem--unless you're actually doing development work with firefox 2.
