      Hello all,

      I do not know what to say. I can start Firefox_6 as root, with its 
settings (/root/.mozilla). This could be a problem for the novice user in 
Linux ...

      Do-it would work if:
1 - I write a script making backup copies of the files included in the
      package Redmond-default-settings-kde3,
2 - I removed the package Firefox and Thunderbird,
3 - I restore files backed up in 1 -
or could other packages be damaged ?

      Sincerely,
Patrick
