[WBEL-users] Best Practice Update

[Will Senn]

I tried the download it, install it and hope for the best route, but it 
didn't work completely like I expected it to. If I start Mozilla and 
Mozilla Mail at the same time it prompts me for a profile on the second 
one. It didn't do this with the 1.4.2 version in whitebox (I switched 
back to test). Any idea wazzup? I really do want to be able to start up 
a navigator and email client at the same time without having to do it 
with the little nav buttons (which work). Also, the RPM version that 
WBEL installs installs itself all over the place (/usr/lib, /usr/bin, 
/usr/share, yada yada yada) making it difficult to mask the old version 
without uninstalling it - pain and suffering. Let's say I did uninstall 
the rpm, wouldn't that pretty much wipe all of the launchers that are 
pointing to the mozilla in /usr/bin - which is not the default for 
mozilla (/usr/local/mozilla)?

Help, I just want to upgrade to 1.6 and have it work correctly - keeping 
my old profile.

Thanks,

Will
