To Jeffrey Siegal and all who were kind enough to answer my original 
query: I hope I can clarify what I said and what I was asking. First I 
said I was wondering why the Mozilla/Netscape programs were not written 
as rpm's as well as tar. or tar.gz. I realize some find tar to be easy 
but there are not many who have the expertise to translate that into 
teaching those that do not find tar that easy. I will try to find the 
rpm's for the flash on Redhat, but, almost bet they do not have it!
