Non RPM software upgrades

[David Mangani]

	I installed Netscape 7 from CD ( I had laying around from windows and noticed 
it had a linux version as well ). It was not in rpm format, I think it was 
./instal and then an installation wizard pretty much did the rest. How would 
I now either remove this program or upgrade it to a newer version since it 
wasn't installed with RPM. Is it very difficult to do?

	Secondly, I have been struggling to get RH9 to see my windows drive. ( It is 
on its own HDD ) I tried mounting it manually, edited the fstab file, tried 
all different options, filesystem types vfat,dos,etc. NOTHING worked. Kept 
getting no mount point defined. Anyways, googled mount point found my answer 
in like 2 seconds ugggggg. All I had to do was mkdir /win-c to match the 
entry I made in fstab. I have several books on RH and nowhere was there a 
mention of having do mkdir to gain access to windows or anyother file/system 
to be mounted. I guess sometimes the best lessons are the ones we learn from 
missing obvious things.
