After you download the tar.gz Firefox package from here > http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/all.html , run as root: Code:
tar xvzf firefox-1.0.2.installer.tar.gz Code:
cd firefox Code:
./firefox-installer You can then after that make any launcher addition to the menu or taskbar or desktop and make the command Code:
'/usr/loca/firefox/firefox' |

EDIT: But I have that exactly URL in my yum.conf on my other system. I use that other system to hack FC, breaking it here and there and then fixing it. It's something I learned at Dell, IBM and Compaq for tech support reasons. So the other comment I made about "not using FC" is sort of correct. It's not a production box. IT's a tool for training. Pretty soon I'll be testing it with my three PERC's and a bunch of hard disk configurations. I originally had a complete set of tutorials and the like from testing this and that in my other computer because I was going to post a complete shakedown eval with all kinds of components and Linux operating systems to the geocities site. But I decided that was too time consuming and so I deleted it all from that geocities.com site. I still have it on CD complete with log files, error messages and the fixes. Don't know what I'm going to do with it now though. My apologies about the yum.conf online, I forgot its for FC3. (mental note to self: in future, read posts more carefully, query poster didn't say FC3!) |

Hi t3gah,
Tks for your advice. Quote:
# rpm -qa | grep firefox firefox-0.9.3-0.fdr.4 I don't know whether # rpm -Uvh firefox-1.0.2-3.i386.rpm will work A further question, if I download its installer from Firefox website whether I have to delete the running version first. Quote:
