Question #78009 on firefox-3.0 in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/78009
Tom proposed the following answer: Brilliant, nicely found!! Also try going up to the top taskbar and click on System Administration - Synaptic Package Manager on the settings menu click on "Repositories" and in that click on the 2nd tab at the top "Third Party Software" then when you have the cd in the drive click on "Add Cd". Note that as i pointed out before it's unlikely that any cd you have has an appropriate version of software on it as they are mostly Windows versions that get "dished out" like that. Mostly linux stuff is from on-line but you can use the "File" menu in Synaptic to help build up a list of what you want and then use anyo other machine, even a Windows machine to download what you wanted and save all that onto cd to take back to your machine. Note that when you try this for yourself it is worth puting the file from Ubuntu into a new folder on the desktop or somewhere before double-clicking on it because the downloads will usually go straight into th folder that contains the file you just double-clicked, which can get a bit messy sometimes. Sorry i didn't give you a good answer for this last time! Good luck and regards from Tom :) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
