Scarecrow Man Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I've downloaded a couple programs like Firefox, Thunderbird, and a few others for my FC2.My question is, where, and how, do I install them. I've downloaded them in gzip format, and have been able to unzip it, and run it, but from my desktop. What's the folder I should be putting these things into?

Redhat Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I personally just leave them in /home/username/firefox etc.. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhat Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 By the way with some other programs that you install, you cd to the directory of all the files and : ./configuremakemake install then from a command line type the name of the program to run it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I personally just leave them in /home/username/firefox etc..That's it eh? Seems too easy... and I don't get nice icons, and my default browser doesn't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Alright, I got the icon sorted out. And a shortcut on my desktop (I'm a linux guru now! muhahaha)I'm still bafled on this install thing... I download the gzip, unzip if to where I want to run it from, and it just works? Doesn't seem right.... but it works for now :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
