I’ve tried to install the latest version of firefox into my DSL box, but nothing to do! I cannot install it….
Yesterday I’ve downloaded Opera 9.6 from this link. Then with few steps I’ve installed it in DSL and I can say it works fine.
Once your download has been completed, open a terminal window and go into the directory where you have downloaded Opera (for me was /home/dsl) typing the following command:
# cd /home/dsl
#
Now to extract the Opera archive type the following command:
# tar zxvf opera-9.63-2474.gcc295-static-qt3-i386.tar.gz
…........
…........
…........
#
It’s time to install the software 😉 . Type the following commands
# cd opera-9.63-2474.gcc295-static-qt3-i386
# sudo install.sh
From now on you can start Opera from a terminal window by typing the following command:
# opera
Using Dillo and Opera 9.x. I have been attempting to install Flash but to no avail. I have followed various posts on it and no luck. I tried the Flash 7 version that seems to be the one reported to work, but I believe I would have to downgrade my browser? Also on the page where the Flash 7 is, there are of course lots of other versions. When I downloaded the Flash 7 it contained a WHOLE LOT of directories in a zip file. I wasn’t sure which one to try, so I just tried the last one listed, assuming that the older would work. And of course it didn’t. I don’t want to reinstall this DSL (frugal) because I recently reinstalled it because I could NOT remove an Opera version I had previously installed. It kept saying that because of shared libraries and so forth it wouldn’t delete.
Any idea how to get flash working with Opera 9? I hate the Firefox it comes with. It freezes up after loading one page. What is really frustrating to me is, I can’t view Facebook normally in either Dillo or in Opera. Opera won’t even disply pictures and most of the page. It only displays the title and my profile picture in the upper right corner. The entire page is blank!
Arrrgggggggg.
