Step 1.) Download the program! Save it in your /root/ directory!
Step 1.5) Open up the .tar.gz file and extract to /root/
Step 2.) Navigate to /root/ and right-click, go to window, then Terminal Here
Step 3.) Now type this in:
Code: Select all
./install-firefox
NOTES: Full installation was designed for JWM only (as it updates your .jwmrc file.) If you use another desktop/wm you will probably have to manually update it. I suspect Icewm will also automatically update. This program was designed to run at the root leve (but may work when called from other locations.) I spent about two hours on this script because as a once newbie myself I felt like I owed something to the communtiy. I hope that you enjoy it, and that it makes installing Firefox just a little easier.
Please feel free to leave me a comment, or hate mail. We can't please everybody - but we can try. I am using a Firefox installed by this script right now to type this message. Also newbies if Firefox don't run you are probably missing the DBUS deps. Get them from the Puppy Package Manager.
Have fun world, from your not so favorite-favorite C++ programmer, RLH.
** Update: 01-19-2010 **
New version will be uploaded on 01-23-2010 that will allow the downloading and installation of the following programs:
Firefox 1.0 - 3.5.7, Thunderbird, Minefield (Beta), all language packs, and automatic font fixing.
** Update 01-20-2010 **
Added new menus and program version installations. We also added the option to install the Dbus libraries (required for Firefox.) We hope that this program makes your Firefox installation a little easier. We had lots of fun programming it. Now the program contains audio prompts that will walk you through the entire installation!
Please feel free to distribute this script, modify it but please always give credit to the original programmers even if it's just in a #comment line on the script.
