[NBLUG/talk] Setting default browser

[Todd Cary]

Christopher -

Thank you!  I did find it, however I made a mistake in where I put the 
tarball and did the install, so I would appreciate a suggestion on where 
one should put the tarbar when doing an install.

Currently, it is in /home/todd...not good.  And a directory, 
firefox_install, was created with all of the files in it except for the 
plugin files.  They are in /usr/lib/mozilla.

And when I download a rpm file, should I put that into the Reh Hat rpm 
directory?

Does "rpm -i myapp.n.n.n.rpm" enter the application into the rpm index?
