I know this is a bit tardy response but other matters got in the way.
I have since scanned the web and think I have a process to upgrade from FF4 to (now) FF10. I used to just download from the mozilla site and install but now FF has many files and I am unsure that the process I conjured with your help is applicable to FF10.
I have outlined the process below and would appreciate if you would validate it for FF10:
1) Download new firefox from:
Index of /pub/slackware/slackware-13.37/patches/packages
the following:
mozilla-firefox-10.0.2-i486-1_slack13.37.txt *Package text
mozilla-firefox-10.0.2-i486-1_slack13.37.txz New firefox per se
mozilla-firefox-10.0.2-i486-1_slack13.37.txz.asc *Security key
* Need?
2) Run (as root): remove pkg <firefox-4.0>
3) Run (as root): installpkg mozilla-firefox-10.0.2-i486-1_slack13.37.txz
Where should I (root) be when I run the removepkg?
Do the .asc and .txt file need downloading for the installpkg to work properly and leave the text in /var/log/packages?
Where should I put the downloaded files prior to running installpkg?
Where should root be when it runs the installpkg?
Thanx
