I just bought HP 2133 and it has Firefox 2 installed. Can I install Firefox 3? How can I tell if it is compatible?
If it is compatible, can I simply download it from Mozilla?
The hard question! Assuming I can download it, then how?! Specifically, after I download a …tar.bz2 file, what do I do with it? (I’m sorry for the “silly” question, but it has been 25 years since I used Unix last, and I really don’t remember, especially in the SUSE environment, which is very different from what I used to work with…)
hang on, you do not need to fuss with tarballs and compilers…heh, *nix has
come a long way baby…
but, to get a specific answer we need a little more info…like, what version
of SUSE do you have, and what window environment (KDE3, KDE4, Gnome, other)…
the short answer, without more info is: use YaST or zypper, to add the opensuse
build service - Mozilla repository…
for more info on YaST/zypper start at Basic openSuSE concepts: http://tinyurl.com/66h4rw
especially item four…
welcome back…this ain’t your grandpa’s *nix…
ps: you CAN compile if you really wanna, for old time sake…but why??
