Hi
I have tried to open the Mozilla Firefox file from
this month's LXF DVD.
first of all I am not sure which tar file to unpack:
there are two as follows, what is the difference and
which one should I use?
firefox-0.8-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz
firefox-0.8.i686-pc-linux-gnu,tar.gz
I tried to open the latter from the command line, I
typed tar
xzvf/home/mo/Downloads/firefox-0.8.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
I got a message to the effect that the 'f' is old and
it needs an argument and that I should look at tar
--man. I did but I couldn't make sense of it. So I
tried without the 'f' and the konsole just froze.
Help!!
Mo
