gave up on Moz years ago (still under Win 2K) when i noticed that it conflicted with NS 7.20; @ the time, i was looking for a replacement for NS 4.80 which had started having real problems with many sites, so despite its speed, it wasn’t practical, anymore.
alas.
eventually settled for FireFox, then still beta 0.8 or so.
on SuSE/KDE, i found that NS (7.20, the last version available) has a much smoother behavior;
and it’s download is a runnable installer, as opposed to Mozilla which simply comes compressed, twice;
you have to decompress it (twice, once with gzip and once with tar) alternatively, you should be able to use MC (Midnigh Commander);
right click on your Desktop
Run [mc]
click Options & select run in dedicated shell (or something like this)
once MC is started, type in
cd ~/Desktop
and hit the Enter kay
you should see mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.7.13-installer.tar.gz
double-click on it until you see a Mozilla folder
select it and click the TAB key to get into the other "folder window" and type
> cd /usr/local
and hit enter key
then press tab to get to the Mozilla downlaod again and press [F5] to copy the Mozilla directory to /usr/local
then right click on your desktop, choose Run and enter (something like) /usr/local/Mozilla/Mozilla
(not sure about the name of the binary :-" )
Don’t know that I can help but I was running the same setup. I found instructions in the manuals that explained the commands needed to run certain programs. You ran them from the command prompt not the gue. It wasn’t easy but I was able to run some programs. Also there are places on the internet that contain information. As far as removing suse, I think the manual tells you how to do that. repartitioning your harddisk to get optimal storage for your windows system may be the tricky part without reloading your windows op system. Partition magic makes some pretty big claims. with xp I find working with the harddisk partitioning a pain in the hd.
