hi i,ve been trying to install mozilla thunderbird as sylpheed doe's nt really fulfill my need. i've down loaded it unpacked it but not sure where to link dir's as am also running firefox, i've looked on the moz forums but dsl is not mentioned i wondered if anyone has pulled this off and how? pretty please ;)
ok when you download thunderbird have firefox save it to your home directory (it should do that automaticly).
Open EmelFM (the file manager cant recall the name)
Navigate to your home directory (from a default boot /RAMDISK/home/damnsmall) and look for the tar.gz file
If you find it and double click and enter it there should be a folder. if not try navigating up one level as you went to deep if there are a bunch of files. if not try and redownload the file or check where the files are being saved.
On the other side of EmelFM navigate to the home directory and select copy. Now thunderbird sould be uncompressed.
Navigate into the folder and double click on the 'thunderbird' thunderbird should come up. If not, try closing Firefox.
look at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtop....#146623
to explain why thunderbird will not appear when you have firefox running.
Hope this works for you.
