Hi all, Using Debian 3.1, i just installed the new version of the mozilla web browser to its default location /usr/local/, looking at the properties of the mozilla shortcut on the panel it says it runs the command mozilla-suite. I think what i need to do is create a symbolic link in /usr/bin/ pointing mozilla-suite to /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla/, ive been trying to do this for about an hour now. The closest i got to it working was the panel shortcut saying "symbolic link too deep" (i think thats what it said). This is driving me mad Anyone know what im doing wrong?

If you have an old version of Mozilla you may have to uninstall it then create the symlink.

Bit tricky without seeing what you have been typing!

To create a symbolic link, use:

ln -s PathToTargetFile Linkname

This should work:

su to root.
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla mozilla

(Just check the path to your mozilla script /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla is correct)

Then just type mozilla to launch it, or check the path on your icon.

(Alternatively, you could just change the path on your icon to /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla)

Thank you very much for the help

This was what worked:
