These updates are available in rhmask-ed RPM format. To obtain valid RPMs

from rhmask-ed ones you will need to have available the original binary RPMs

shipped with your Red Hat Linux 6.1 CD. Copy those rpms to your temporary

directory along with the .rhmask files available here. Then you will have to

use the rhmask program to obtain the updated RPMs:

rhmask netscape-common-4.61-12us.i386.rpm netscape-common-4.7-

1.1.i386.rpm.rhmask

rhmask netscape-communicator-4.61-12us.i386.rpm netscape-communicator-4.7-

1.1.i386.rpm.rhmask (all on one line)

rhmask netscape-communicator-4.61-12us.i386.rpm netscape-navigator-4.7-
