I can't spot the srpms anywhere obvious or are they unchanged from the 
RHEL4 versions?

I'm thinking of rebuilding them to:

  apply local policy locking some preferences etc (though we could do that
  in a post installation script anyway)

  make them provide the nss/nspr stuff (and add symlinks to the firefox
  versions from /usr/lib) and mark it to obsolete the old mozilla versions

As far as I can tell the libs provided by firefox 1.0.1 are the same 
version numbers as those provided by mozilla-nss and mozilla-nspr so 
really *ought* to be compatible (though it will need testing).

Currently the only bits of the old mozilla (1.4.3) we have left installed
are the -nss and -nspr packages 'cos gaim (and maybe other things) need
both...
