| 809701 | 2009-09-13 06:47:00 | OK. I'm just gonna run this a while and see what breaks. I need to get my Firefox Up-N-Running, and is Chrome available on Ubuntu? |

| 809706 | 2009-09-14 00:25:00 | It runs good and I have had no real problems yet. I am wondering how to use that .tar in the downloader for Google Updates and add-ons. I see them, but cannot remember what happens next - do I just reboot and let them self-install or wot? |

| 809707 | 2009-09-14 00:36:00 | You can think of a tar file as the Linux equivalent of a zip file. I can't really help unless you tell me about what's inside. Note also that you should be installing most stuff via the package manager - usually if you're trying top install something from a tarball, it means that you're doing things the wrong way. There are a few exceptions, but not many. |

| 809708 | 2009-09-14 02:11:00 | I was trying for some Google and FF updates since this version of Ubuntu is rather old. Problem? I wonder if I can run some of the addons and themes in FF that I had in XP. |

| 809709 | 2009-09-14 02:26:00 | Yeah don't install those from tarballs - you can get them via the package manager. Yes, most themes & addons that work with XP will work in Ubuntu as well - they're platform-neutral. |

| 809710 | 2009-09-14 02:43:00 | Goto "System-Administration -Synaptic packet manager" You will be asked 4 yr password, enter it then clk reload (top LH side of the popup) and you will get a list of all the updates available for your setup.Then "mark all upgrades" and clk "install. The install will take a long time as yr Ubuntu is so old but you will end up with the up to date version. Good luck |
