Fire Fox, latest version?
I've just got Debian 3.1 working, using FF 1.0.4 to post this, used synaptic to get it.
Does Debian offer the latest version of FF, 1.0.7? If so would I use Apt to get it? I re-loaded the synaptic repositories and 1.0.4 is the latest version. I'm not too concerned if it is not available. Debian rocks! |
It looks as if there are a few Debian repositories that have at least up to 1.0.6:
http://www1.apt-get.org/search.php?q...arch%5B%5D=all I know Ubuntu already has 1.0.7 (I see Ubuntu in your profile, too). |

Here's a stupid n00b, Debian question. How do you get the 1.0.6 version? I updated Synaptic, it's not carrying it. Perhaps using apt at a shell prompt? Edit: added later, ignore my n00b question. I clicked on your link, saw the repository:-) Thanks for the link. |
apt-get at the shell prompt is just a different version of Synaptic--it's doing the same thing. Do you see the link I gave you before? Add the appropriate repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list. Then reload and see what pops up in Synaptic.

Hi aysiu and HappyTux,
Thank you for the replies. I'll try and update my repositories, aysiu. If I understand you, HappyTux, then I already have 1.0.6 if I'm running 1.0.4. I refreshed synaptic before installing 1.0.4. I appreciate your replies, gentlemen!:D |

And have the version 1.0.4-2sarge3 installed. Code:
apt-cache policy mozilla-firefox |

I just checked my synaptic repositories and I do have the security site there that you mentioned. I'm also running 1.0.4-2sarge3. So I'm up to date!:D |

I've just noticed also that FF is version 1.0.4. So I've added deb http://debian.stdout.at/ ./ to my source list.
I get this message below when I do the apt-get upgrade. 'WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! libfreetype6 mozilla-firefox mozilla-thunderbird Install these packages without verification [y/N]? WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!' Any ideas on this? Thnx. |
