Our suse 9.1 based ltsp system is now complaining that the version of firefox is now out of date, I have done on-line updates etc, but firefox 1.0 has not been relased as a suse rpm yet. Although 0.8 still works, becouse it insists on warning of security holes (at least its not ie!) staff are assuming that the system will not work. Whats the best way of either getting rid of the message, or upgrading firefox? Thanks Rob Keeling -- I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by. - Douglas Adams
You could always take the source - recomplie it on Suse 9.1, package
it as an RPM and then push it out??
But long winded though.

I've always used the firefox site for all of my copies since V0.6. I've never had any problems apart from when I updated to 9.2 from 9.0 and to my surprise had messages when de/installing other apps that firefox had to be installed despite having a fully up-to-date version installed! When I searched, I found that there was an rpm on the disk, installed that, and all's been fine since. Adrian "the computa says noooo!"
