I used the MDK RPMs available from RPMFind.  Haven't had a chance to use it much (darn work has kept me trapped in Windows the past few days) but it seemed to work on my 10.0 Community build pretty well for the little testing I did.  

You'll probably want to install the Microsoft core font set from sourceforge, as well.  (That way Mozilla Linux will format text almost the same as Mozilla Win, which formats almost the same as IE, which means even poorly laid out sites should look pretty close.)

Looks like you beat me and managed to find the RPMs :roll:


:lol:  Hey...  I'm almost quick, sometimes.  They were filed under mozilla-firefox and mozilla-thunderbird for some reason. (instead of just firefox and thunderbird, like I thought they were supposed to be.)  Anyhow, I knew they were there, because I had spent time digging them up for my own MDK10 build.  Thunderbird is .1 version behind (.5 instead of .6), but I never had a problem with .5 on any system I've used, so I wasn't too concerned about it.

I tried to run Fedora Core 2 test 2, but I was the lucky owner of certain BIOS type that it refused to boot on.  After that, I decided to give Mandrake a roll again.  (Like you, I hadn't used it since good ole' 8.1)  At first glance, I'm liking 10.0, but I haven't used it enough for form a real opinion, yet.
