I am a new user of Debian. My first task after system install is
to install Firefox and Tbird, preferably the latest 1.0.6 or
1.0.7. It's a piece of cake to download and install these from
the mozilla site, but I have no idea how I might then wrap them
with an icon and to get them to show in the menus. Do debian
users not do this sort of thing? If so, could someone point me
to the appropriate documentation?
Firefox and Thunderbird are already in the Debian distribution. Try:
$ apt-get install mozilla-firefox mozilla-thunderbird
... or install them via aptitude. Hope this helps.
It does, I'm sure, but I think we should teach new users how to fish
more, rather than breastfeed them. No offence intended.
Oh, my. I've encountered the newbie police. I find it extremely
humorous that someone on Debian, which hides the complexities of Linux,
struts around mocking newcomers to Debian as if they were newcomers to
Linux. For the record, bonehead, I am probably here just long enough to
install a 2.6.x kernel so that I might use this dist as host for
building an LFS 6.1 system. My current LFS system is only 5.0.
