[TriLUG] Mozilla mess

[Daniel Monjar]

of course I really meant... --nodeps is my friend.

I only use it when I know what I want to do... most of the times, again for 
me, rpms are a pain.  I picked Linux so long ago because I like to do stuff 
my way, not someone elses.  I like the untar/compile/install cycle for just 
that reason.  I prefer configuring the package the way I want it and 
putting it where I want it to go.  So I often do run into the scenario 
where a package is installed, just not via rpm.
