How do I install firefox on PC Linux OS minime?

It seems to be different than other distros. Could someone walk me through this? Feel free to ask me any questions you need; I don't know what I need to post. Thanks.

Hi,

From what I can tell you should be able to just download and install FF straight to the OS. This is based on Mandrake so I would go to the Firefox website and then download the program from there. It should figure out on its own what os you are using.

If that doesn't work then I would try looking in the repositories and see if it is listed there. Do a search for Firefox and you should find it.

Cheers!

Yeah, I don't know what to do.. Is there a guide on how to download firefox normally, or can you walk me through it step by step? :/

And I'm using tinyme, not minime.

Firefox is available. You should have 2 repositories checked. One should have the word "pclinuxos" in it and one should have "tinyme" in it. Once you have those repos set up, you should go through Reload--> Mark All Upgrades--> Apply--> Apply. Then use the Search box to seach for either "mozilla-firefox" (Firefox 2) or "firefox3".
