Hey Dev,
You lose a lot of the advanages of Mandrake if you use
tarballs to install software (you need to do manual
dependency checking, and packages that depend on the
installed package can't tell that it's there).
So assuming you are using the mozilla 1.7 rpm it
should be as simple as doing as root
rpm -Uvh a.rpm b.rpm c.rpm
I think you will meed the mozilla, libnss3 and
libnspr4 rpm packages for mandrake. One place to get
them is here (cooker development builds mirror)
ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/M...ake/RPMS.cooker-Ravi
PS For Mandrake 10 official you could also use urpmi
to add the necessary cooker source and then just do
"urpmi mozilla", but I don't have details on that.
