Apps :: Trying to get thunderbird to work!

Alright, first time using any form of Linux. I clicked the MyDSL thing, then UCI, then I downloaded thunderbird-1.5.uci. Where do I go from here to actually run thunderbird? Can I get step-by-step instructions? I'm using 3.0.1 DSL. Thanks!

I think you can launch the desktop icon, or look in menu > mydsl (right click the desktop if you're in fluxbox to enter the menu)

Yeah, there isn't a desktop icon or anything under MyDSL. Do I need to install anything else to make thunderbird work?

Hello,

In order to run the Thunderbird.uci, you'll probably need to:

1. download/mount the "gtk2-0705.unc" (since you're using DSL 3.01).

2. Click "Update to GTK 2" in the MyDSL menu.

3. Load/run Thunderbird.
