Thank you, I nearly forgot about this option but my question went a

little deeper. Is the SL FF 3.6-8 the same as general FF 3.6.4 or 3.6.6

(newest)?



"About" FF says: Red Hat/3.6-8.el5 Firefox/3.6.4

so - is the version safe (the -8 suffix) or should I (we) ask for

3.6.6 SL package (3.6-9.el5....?) as Mozilla (parent company) presses

for the changes in FF use due to safety issues?

OK, but I found Dag repo on SL FTPs

http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/extra/dag/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/RPMS.dag/



I understand it was put there just for our convenience. Anyway, I asked

Mr Dag Wieërs about the lack of spell-checker option and now I wait for

his replay.



Thank you for your help.
