kompozer-0.8a4

This worked for my first system, but on other systems is missing mozilla runtime?

echo "sudo apt-get install alien
cd /tmp
wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kompozer/kompozer-0.8a4-1.fc10.i386.rpm
sudo alien -d kompozer-0.8a4-1.fc10.i386.rpm
sudo gdebi kompozer_0.8a4-2_i386.deb" > kompozer_install.sh
sudo sh ./kompozer_install.sh


Other method

this is a copy'n paste script.

echo 'wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/kompozer/kompozer-0.8a4-gcc4.2-i686.tar.gz -O /tmp/kompozer-0.8a4-gcc4.2-i686.tar.gz

firefox 3.1

This is an old post from a ubuntu forum

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-947694.html

sudo echo "activate sudo"

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu hardy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.1

If you don't want to move you icons around and use firefox-3.1b1 as your main browser

sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/firefox
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.1 /usr/bin/firefox



If you want to undo that change
sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox
sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/bin/firefox
