How to install programs on Linux?

Postby Wellander » Fri 09 Jan, 2004 11:57 pm

Hi,
I hate the web browser that I am using now and I want to install Mozilla.
I have downloaded it but do not know how to install it on RedHat Linux 8.0
Help Please.
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux)

Hi,
I found how to get mozilla on it.
I need instructions of getting Netscape Communicator 4.79 on it though.

You can download it Netscape 4.79 (or any other version of Communicator) for Linux, by going to the
relevant folder on the Netscape FTP server, or via the Netscape Browser Archive here at SillyDog701.

As it's quite some time since I last installed Netscape 4.x on Linux (about 2 years) with it now being
totally obsolete, and of very little use to me (especially on Linux) I don't remember how to install it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find the necessary instructions for installing Netscape Communicator
for Linux somewhere on the net, maybe even in a .txt file on the Netscape FTP server itself!

Anyway, I thought you preferred to use Internet Exploiter these days . . . ?

Hi,
I'm using RedHat Linux, which does not support Internet Explorer.

Why? What exactly is the problem you're having with it? In my experience with Mozilla on Linux,
once I have it installed, and set up to my liking, it's barely any different than how it is on Windows.

As for Communicator (IIRC) there is a readme file included with the binary you download, which
explains how to install the old Netscape 4.x browser with an install script, which is also included.

Would you mind posting a screenshot of this? I've used Mozilla in Redhat Linux 9 and it's worked just as well as it does under Windows.

Run the command "ksnapshot", and this will enable you to take screengrabs in Linux.

Att installera program i Linux

Postby rovhol » Mon 26 Jan, 2004 1:48 pm

Alla här är lika korkade. Ni tror att bara genom att snacka ett språk som ingen annan förstår, så tror ni att ni framstår som duktiga.
Hur skulle det vara om ni skrev era jävla svar så att man förstod vad ni sade!!!
Tillverka ett normalt program som installerar sig på ett vettigt sätt och sluta upp med de korkade förbannde förkortningar ni har på alla förbannade filer och program. Det är så oerhört ologiskt.
Jag vill ha kontroll redan från början när jag installerar ett program utan att behöva vara data expert. Bara installations manualen till GNU/Debian Linux var på 149 sidor!!!
Om det skall vara så, så är det väl inte konstigt att ingen vill ha era pissiga program....
