Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: Thunderbird
I am so frustrated.
First of all, I installed the newest version of Kbuntu for x86.
Then I downloaded Thunderbird 3 and extracted it.
But there are NO instructions anywhere that explain how to install it to new
Linux users.
First I find it frustrating.
Then I find it arrogant that no explanations of how to do this are provided at
the installation site.
Then I find it really strange that Linux is advertised as ready for the average
user, but it is nearly impossible to figure out how to do a "simple"
installation of a new program that is not in one of their "packages".
Please address in detail how someone who is new to Linux can install
Thunderbird 3.
No geek speak please unless you first define the terms and how to invoke
them.
