I wanted to try out Thunderbird but couldn't get it to install.

You can't run a program from the directory it's in. That seems to be a UNIX no-no. Back up one directory, and run the command with /directory/install...etc. I know it's goofy, but that's UNIX--and Linux. In this case, the "directory" is /username. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
