are you in the pointy clicky simple logo style layout?
i.e. do you have a taskbar at the bottom with a clickable launch button?
if you are allready in full desktop then:
presuming that it is the same for a 901 as a 701 (which logically it should be.. AFAIK they use the same kernel)
(from: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:installfirefox3)
step 1 is to download gtk2.10
open a terminal window (launch, applications, system, console)
prolly easier to do as root... so type
hit enter
type (or copy and paste
)
Code:
wget http://apt.linex.org/linex/gtk-2.10/libgtk2.0-0_2.10.13-2~bpo.1_i386.deb
hit enter
now, extract it to a folder, (easier to extract it to /home)
so type
Code:
dpkg-deb -x libgtk2.0-0_2.10.13-2~bpo.1_i386.deb gtk2-10
hit enter.
download firefox from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/
(save it in your main /home part)
in file manager, (the blue icon) extract the firefox file you just downloaded (right click, extract)
now, go into the newly extracted folder, and edit the 'firefox' script file (blue cog icon) (right click, open with, text editor)
add
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/user/gtk2-10/usr/lib"
at the start after the first line so that it looks like:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/user/gtk2-10/usr/lib"
...
...
save the file, and double click it to open firefox3 (you need to close firefox2 or iceweasel otherwise it will just open a newinstance of that.
now.. i found that going to filemanager toopen firefox ery annoying... soooo i created a shortcut (about 5 seconds ago
)
at the bottom where the oter icons are, click the little arrow - panel menu - add to panel - special button- non-kdeapplication
type the name (firefox3
)
then navigate your way to that firefox startup file. then click okay,
now you'll want a better icon for it right?
right click the icon - properties - click the piccy in the corner, then pick the picture you want to use...
if you're not in full desktop then i'll walk you through that...
