Should I upgrade?Forum: Other Help Topics Topic: Should I upgrade? started by: jago25_98 Posted by jago25_98 on Nov. 11 2006,15:11
All I really need is a current firefox.I tried unpacking the debian tar.gz (see other thread), but that seems to be built against a lib I don't have:
I have apt-get. Perhaps I should upgrade into something else? -I have a 20gb HD with 3gb free on this partition. Thing is, I don't have a CDROM drive so if it goes wrong it's a lot of effort plugging the HDD out and reinstalling. What would you recommend? Persevere with firefox or risk the messing things up with a dist-upgrade? - 20gb HDD (4gb root) - 128mb RAM - 600mhz salvaged laptop mainboard without case Posted by mikshaw on Nov. 11 2006,15:15
There is a very recent build of Firefox 2.0 in the mydsl testing repository:< http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....ci.info > It was built using gtk1, so it should work in DSL without the need to add anything else. Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Nov. 12 2006,02:35
If you want to continue trying with your original way, you'd probably need gtk2.

How would I install that gtk1 firefox 2.0? This machine is only used for Firefox and gmail and unfortunately not having a newer version of firefox which works is driving me insane.

From terminal, you can use mydsl-load Posted by greper on Dec. 03 2006,04:38
That worked, thanks a lot. I had never used repository.
