Problem solved!
dnorman...@select-man:~$ conkeror
hello
I went into `about:config' and set conkeror.rcfile to the FQ Path. So
your previous suggestion about including
dumpln("hello")
in .conkerorrc worked.

I'm not brand new to *nix - I've been using FreeBSD for 15 years. ;)
I'm just new to Linux AND the differences between each distro. So
there's no problem manually installing anything - I just need to get

Thanks for all the help!
