I'm a long time Gentoo user who is experimenting with Kubuntu 7.04 on an
old Althon-XP box. The system installed without a glitch, but I can't
seem to install additional software. The add/remove facility shows
Firefox in the list, but it is greyed out and I have found no way to
ungrey it. I tried using apt-get install firefox via the command line,
but this gives a "Package firefox is not available" error. Googling
hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

Firefox is installed by default. If you don't see an icon on the Kde bar
at the bottom try opening a terminal and running firefox.
If for some odd reason you're running an odd duck version, try turning
on the additional repositories which involves uncommenting some lines in
/etc/apt/sources.list
Note you'll need an internet connection on the box to use them.
Otherwise this handy page usually answers/solves the basics

It clearly isn't installed. I downloaded the ISO for the desktop
version from a standard mirror site. The universe and multiverse
repositories are all uncommented, so it can't be that. A lot of other
programs are greyed out as well. Very strange.

I did an apt-get update and all of the greyed out programs became available!
