I hate to admit this, but I threw in the towel with installing Firefox. I did however get Opera 9 installed very easily. The difference seemed to be the installable .deb file that it was packaged as. The tar.gz Opera install gave me the same greif as Firefox. I still intend to figure out how to install tar.gz applications, but still, I'm glad to be away from the Konquerer browser.
Also, thanks for the help everybody. -John --- In [email protected], "John Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sorry I didn't get back to you folks sooner.
