Interesting.
I just re-checked Mozilla.org, the 0.8 release page, and RH RPM packages are
now available in addition to tar/gz:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.8/RH6/RPMS/i386/0.8-2/
What's interesting is that a RH PSM package is available *in addition* to
the 0.8 browser package. Wonder if 0.7 did not include PSM, as the info on
Mozilla.org indicated?
Will download/install both packages on another PC and see if any difference
in behavior with SSL.
