I tried unpacking the debian tar.gz (see other thread), but that seems to be built against a lib I don't have:
Code Sample
dsl /opt/firefox $ -> ./firefox ./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
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?

It was built using gtk1, so it should work in DSL without the need to add anything else.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-loadNext Page...
