How does one update Firefox in Suse-10. According to my setup I am running Firefox 1.07-01 If I run yast update it tells me latest version available is 1.0.6-16. I think I should be running 1.5-01 How the heck do I get there. Surely I do not have to resort to downloading an rpm and manually installing do I? ------------------- Ron Wilson I haven't committed a crime.

Option 1: Browse to it and click on it in Konqueror. When the button "Install with YaST" displays, click it and enter your superuser password. It'll do the rest. Option 2 su {password} mkdir scratch cd scratch wget URI/path/package.rpm rpm -Uhv package.rpm --test (if ok) rpm -Uhv package.rpm ldconfig SuSE config rm package.rpm cd .. rmdir scratch exit exit regards, Carl

Hmm. I just downloaded the rpm from the Firefox site and followed Carl's instructions (which Carl or someone had published several months ago). Works fine -- or did, until my motherboard went belly-up Monday. Any suggestions for a good, cheap motherboard that works well with suse? John Perry

Sorry. I just realized he gave two sets of instructions. I followed the Konqueror instructions. jp
That is exactly what I did to upgrade to Firefox 1.5.1. ed On Wednesday 08 February 2006 19:16, Ron Wilson wrote:
