I know it's had a lot of issues with Linux, a cousin of OSX. Try a download from a third party site.

The only problem I've had with firefox and linux is installing Java.

yeah, I need that one, too. How did you end up installing it? Or is it too complicated for me?

I installed firefox under WINE and installed java for that. I still haven't been able to get java working in linux

Im running fedora core 3 and I just went to the firefox site then ran the following code...

Code: Select all

tar -xzvf firefox-1.0.installer.tar.gz
cd firefox-installer
./firefox-installer

On a different note, I got:

The wireless keyboard (and mouse) Im now using to type this post. (Logitech cordless mx duo)
A ton of candy (Who can hate candy?)
$50 gift certificates for futureshop. (The same as bestbuy, just another name.)
Viewtiful Joe 2 for GCN
A pen set
A atari flashback (I didnt ask for it... But its not that bad...)
My dad got a "bingo" lottery ticket and he won $100, so that was nice.

Anyway, thats what I got...
EDIT: I have problems with java too...

I already have firefox in, but it was an RPM from a third party site. I tried what you said, before but it didn't work. (although I think you want to use -zxvf, not -xzvf) It did the install, but it was nowhere to be found afterward.

what is a GP32? what does it do

mindstein · Post by **mindstein** » Sun Dec 26, 2004 4:17 pm

A "game park 32" GP32 is a handheld that runs emulators. From Korea
It also plays MP3, OGG, divix, text files and jpegs.
Google it or check out GBAX or lik-sang.

Also the gp32 theater was started with some puplic domain video.
Check out the links section at doom portables.
