  [ It doesn't have a hdlist, how did you urpmi from it? The hdlist in
    ../Mandrake is for RPMS2/ which you should not use (though doesn't
    really matter for gnome). ]

I'm building some more packages so I can have a real gnome env, and test
mozilla in the cooker chroot. You may have a mix of e.g. gnome 2.3 and 2.4
packages now... Anyway, looks like I'm gonna test it as well -- I use the
latest gnome packages in my hacked cooker install, they work fine so I'm
sure it will also work for regular cooker/ppc.

Was the same here, mozilla-1.6 is even worse. I still use dillo or my pc
for webbrowsing :(
