Hi Tried to install Firefox with apt-get. "apt-get install MozillaFirefox" But the ver of firefox there is just 1.0.7, is there another way to install the firefox with the apt-get? How can I install it in another way if it is not possible with apt-get? Have tried to just download the compressed file from mozilla.com and have been able to get 1.5 to start but what is the right way to install a program from a compressed file (where do I put it and so on)? Have no knowledge in the world of Linux, but hoping to learn :)..... /Per

Have you added "mozilla" in your sources.list? There is 1.5. -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)

in /etc/apt/sources.list there should be one or more lines starting with "rpm". Look for the line in which after the url there is "base" component. Just add there at the end of the line "mozilla" component. After you save the file, execute: apt-get update and then: apt-get install MozillaFirefox Note, that all this is from my memory, so some wording may not be precise, but you'll figure it out. -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)

You can add "mozilla" to the component list in /etc/apt/sources.list. Then do an "apt update" and "apt install MozillaFirefox". - Jostein

Thank's, will take a look at that. What is recomended when running Linux, to install over the old program with the new version or to first uninstall and then install the program? /Per On 1/31/06, Sunny wrote:

Naughty top posting :D apt should take care of all of this for you when you request the software. Depending on whether it is available with your configuration, something like synaptic (apt-get install synaptic) might be useful and could also be easier to use within a graphical desktop. Phil.

Hi This is the contence of that file. rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/10.0-i386 mozilla

Hmmm, very strange, the mozilla repo is empty for 10.0-i386: http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/RPMS.mozilla/ There is Firefox 1.5 for 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3. http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-i386/RPMS.mozilla/ Unfortunately, I do not know whom to contact in order to get that fixed. Anyone knows who maintains the apt repo? Contact info? -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)

Per, let me start with saying that you can expect problems with the sources.list file that you have now. It contains all kinds of apt components that are experential such as kolab, kraxel, etc. Please make up your mind and select only those components that you really know what they deliver!! The standard ones are: base, update and security. The rest are addons and should be selected wisely. Furthermore use the information from this link: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/home.html#contents It explains how to determine which component provides FF. MozillaFirefox;1.5-0.1;i586;suse-projects Now remove all the redundant apt components from your sources.list file and suse-projects to install firefox. After Firefox has been installed remove of comment out suse-projects from the sources.list file. This way you keep a nice stable system. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
