Have you checked the size of the file? could be that it got corrupted halfway thru the download...

You need to be more descriptive . I don't know how you are trying to "load" mozilla. Anyway, follow my lead:

1 - Download this package and save to your HD:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...staller.tar.gz

2 - Uncompress it:

tar xvzf mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.6-installer.tar.gz

3 - Run the install, as root:

sh mozilla-installer

4 - Follow the installer instructions. You should be able to run mozilla by typing "./mozilla" at the directory you've installed Mozilla. If you cannot run Mozilla outside the directory where you've installed it, you may need to create a symbolic link to the bin path, like this:

ln - /wherever/mozilla/is/mozilla /usr/bin/mozilla

Good luck!

Tried to run in root by typing "./mozilla" but I get " No such file or directory "
I checked the size of the file and its the right size.

Thanks

Make sure you do it in the directory you installed mozilla. try running /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla.
