i recall installing firefox with "yum install firefox" from command line. i also created a custom panel, and it sits right above the main one, and put my most used apps on it (and other bells and whistles), including firefox. i believe i installed thunderbird the same way. ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Bryce <pbryce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 02 Sep 2004 13:06:20 +1000 Subject: Re: Newbie & Questions To: Greg Lobring <globring@xxxxxxxxx>, For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Greg Lobring wrote: Hi everyone, I just installed FC2 on my old Dell XPS R-450, and the install went great. Forgive the newbie questions I will ask until I get used to everything...two things to start off... 1. I clicked the Red Hat Network Alert Notification Tool, and installed everything that needed it. However, whenever I click it now, it says, "Your system is currently running kernel-2.6.5-1.358 but the newest installed kernel is kernel-2.6.8-1.521. It is recommended that you reboot at the first opportunity to test this new kernel." Well I have rebooted several times, and still get this message. Is there something I need to do to start using the new kernel? Running up2date tells me everything is up to date. 2. I downloaded and installed Firefox (I like it better than Mozilla). However, I can't seem to get an icon on the taskbar for it. And I don't see it anywhere in my Menu Bar. I am able to run it using the Run command dialog box by pointing to the file in the folder where I installed it. I am running Gnome desktop. I guess I am still too used to Windows and need to re-adjust myself. Any help is appreciated. Many thanks! Greg When I changed over to Firefox I siply opened the properties (right click) of the existing Web Browser icon and changed the command to /usr/Firefox/firefox (which is where the exec lies on my system) - works fine... I believe Thornton has answered your first question.
