252084	2004-07-13 07:04:00	Hi Gods-Hitman, If you are using Xandros and looking at installing Mozilla you could always click on the Xandros Network shortcut and download the program from them. It is always easier to install programs that have been compiled by the distro supplier rather than trying to install from source. HTH	Gorela (901)
252085	2004-07-13 07:22:00	Ok I got firefox running know I downloaded amsn its a .bin know I finaly learnt how to run apps/installers but when I try to run it I get "Permission Denied" Im guessing this is because im not root/admin or what ever its called so is there a way I can make my self an admin? -Srry for been a pain in the ahrs	Gods-Hitman (1419)

If you use su - (note space then hyphen) this will also give you root powers but the "-" switch means you will end up in roots home. For installing, the app will be saved in your /home directory, so just use the plain su so that you remain in your user directory ... hope that wasn't too confusing! Did you look on the Xandros Networks for aMSN? Try switching to Expert Mode and also select Debian unstable for your package sources. Then do the search. Using the Xandros Networks is much tidier and will include any dependencies that are required.	Jen C (20)
