I just did. I am very confused. I download the firefox-2.0.tar.gz Untared it and the readme.txt was one sentence. nothing useful. There is no install**** anything.
Here's the install procedure:
- Download firefox tar.gz
- Unpack
That's it. Well, you could go further and put firefox in /usr/local (for example), and set up symlinks or something to get firefox 2.0 to run (or use the alternatives system to have both installed on your box).
Hope hat helps a bit!
Right ... it is not an RPM, and it is pre-compiled.
I put mine in /usr/lib/firefox-2.0 and did an ln -s of /usr/lib/firefox-2.0/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox
I then copied the plugin in /usr/lib/firefox-2.0/plugins to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin and then removed /usr/lib/firefox-2.0/plugins and created a ln -s from /usr/lob/mozilla/pligins to /usr/lib/firefox-2.0/plugins.
All seems OK on my 2 workstations I did that too, however I am not sure everything is working 100% at this point.
