Hi again Tobias, Its exciting to hear that You guys are working on the Hardy migration.
I've installed flashplayer 9 manually, it works but way too slow compared to version 10 beta 1/2 . now adobe removed the beta versions and put the release of version 10 but there is no way i could find to install it on the current thinclient (i have attempted many approach all failed) IMPORTANT: the other important issue is the firefox 2.8 update. Do you have any timeline for this update, as there is clearly some navigation related bugs with firefox 2.7 version ? I am looking forward for hardy, open office 3 (ms office 2007 file format compatibility), firefox 3+ and the new promising flash player 10 will all work in hardy and not dapper (there seems to be NO way with dapper). If you need a beta tester, count me in! i am very much looking forward to hardy version so much so that you can send me your xmas wishlists =) Tobias Abt wrote: > > Hi! > > akeilo cm schrieb: >> I understand that firefox 3 requires some libs that can only be available >> if >> the core OS updates from dapper to the latest ubuntu (8.0.4, hardy?). > > Yep. > >> The same goes for openoffice version 3 (which can open office 2007 >> documents), can only be installed in Hardy and fails to install in >> Dapper. > > That too. > >> I guess the same shortcoming applies to new Flash Player version 10, >> which >> looks like it'll only install on Hardy.
