It should be in Synaptic. Mine is just listed as 'firefox', but I'm using ubuntu, not kubuntu. Try this, if it doesn't work, I'll boot up a kubuntu livecd and see what I can find out.
Paste the following code in your terminal: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list If you don't have nano installed, substitute your favorite editor in there.. For example, sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list When prompted for a password, enter your login password. When the configuration document loads, remove the "#" symbols in front of each line that begins with #deb. Save the file and exit (in nano, ctl-o to save, ctl-x to exit). Reload synaptic or kynaptic, whichever you are using. Click on the search box, and type in firefox. You should see the firefox package for version 2.0. Click and install. Or, if you prefer an easier route, go to http://www.getautomatix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installation and follow the instructions in the paragraph that matches your kubuntu version. Copy and paste each line, and it will install automatix, which should automatically install firefox for you. Well actually it installs automatix, which is a gui program that allows you to tell it to install firefox for you.

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.
