I have installed the tar files previously for Phoenix .5 so seeing Suse rpms on hopefully apt is a real bonus. Thanks James. It is a very nice browser. Now if only I could link it to Sylpheed or Evolution. Steve.

If you mean so that Evo uses it as the default browser, you can do it in 'gnomecc' -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.1) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org

Steve. By the way can you suggest a way to run Gambas on 8.1. I am a relative new linux user and Gambas appears to require gcc 2.95. [thanks for the effort with the RPMS] Steve

This effort is appreciated but there is not need for an rpm. Phoenix presents a complete binary. It only requires un(?de)compressing and a sim-link to $PATH. To remove it from your system, simply delete the eitire $path/phoenix directory and the phoenix dot files below /home/you. Participating in the nightly releases merely requires the $path/phoenix directory deletion and replacement with the new build. Then the same sim-link and your dot file configuration will remain. One possible hic-cup, you might want to retain a copy of your /plugin directory so it is not required to rebuild, just copy. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org icq#173753138 http://home.indy.rr.com/paka/

Did it occur to you that some people don't even want that hassle? This RPM provides more than the contents of the Phoenix binary tarball, it includes a script to setup all the plugins, which is automatically run at install time, as well as an entry in the GNOME2 menu. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.1).

some??? Try most!! esp for something that I'm not even certain I will use once it's complied correctly , if that ever happens.... And there are situations , where the best will in hte world can not make a correct compile... <heavy sigh> -- j afterthought: All stressed out, and no one to choke...

I think the point that was trying to be made is that there is no compiling involved with Phoenix. You simply unzip it and create a shortcut to phoenix. That's it, nothing else is involved, no compiling, nothing. tar zxvf phoenix*.tar.gz ln -s ./phoenix*/phoenix ~/bin/phoenix I just don't want people getting discouraged from using Phoenix thinking it is a hassle to install or something (since somethings in Linux can be, unfortunately), as it is a pretty nice browser (mozilla/netscape like interface...but VERY fast). -Jeric -- JericAtSbcglobalDotNetwork 4:49pm up 31 days, 8:38, 8 users, load average: 0.71, 0.60, 0.35
