Downloaded 0.2 today. -- Renamed the old thunderbird install directory -- created a new temporary "tbird" directory -- copied the file to the new directory -- changed to the new directory -- untarred the tar.bz2 file -- moved the actual "thunderbird" directory directly under /usr/local -- changed to the /usr/local directory -- removed the temporary "tbird" directory # mv /usr/local/thunderbird /usr/local/old_thunderbird # mkdir -p /usr/local/tbird # cp /home/sharrea/downloads/thunderbird-0.2-i686-pc-linux-gtk2-gnu.tar.bz2 /usr/local/thunderbird/ # cd /usr/local/thunderbird/ # tar xjf thunderbird-0.2-i686-pc-linux-gtk2-gnu.tar.bz2 # mv thunderbird ../ # cd ../ # rm -Rf tbird/ -- Fired up thunderbird and checked my email. -- While thunderbird still open, opened mozilla and checked my email.
