I know i asked this at the end of another problem but i figured i should make it it's own post.

Mozilla (in RH8) says i must select a profile when i try to start it. It says the one there is already in use. I just booted so it must be locked out for some reason. Is there anyway to get into this profile or unlock it so i dont lose all my bookmarks and stuff?

I am not in front of my linux computer right now so I can't direct you to the specific path, but the problem you are having is that the lock file was not removed because Mozilla did not shut down properly. This file is located ~/.mozilla. You need to delete this file, and you will be fine. Run the command "locate mozilla | grep lock" and this should give you the path to the lock file. If you don't have the problem solved, let me know.
