Gents:
Right, well after fink began installing what turned out to be FF 1.0.8 on my
10.4.11 iMac I got David and Alexander's emails saying it wouldn't be FF3.6
. . . and so fink was busy doing it's thing and 7.5 hours later we finally
arrived at "Failed: --firefox-1.0.8-1008 failed" . . . so, I learned a few
things and only time was used. haven't had a chance to try the recommended
"fink selfupdate" command, but this is a basically new install of fink and
used FC to update to, is it 0.29.21?? that number showed. It said to CC
the maintainer, Hanspeter N, so that's what I'm doing. Since I probably
have FF 3.6 on the regular disc and can't see spending another 7.5 hours to
get an earlier version on my computer. It doesn't look like this route of
trying to stay current with browser will work using fink as the support
seems to be moving forward in time as well. I'll keep playing with it, but
it'll probably be up to "TenfourFox" to keep updating the browser for the
10.4 PPC unit as it grows "older" . . . . Just letting you know that I saw
what fink does, how much faster the binary installed, but seeing that fink
installs from the source was interesting to see . . . it just wasn't
completely successful, but maybe it knew that FF 1 wasn't going to help
me?? Pretty amazing, maybe fink is AI and can read minds?
