The rpm builds of Firefox 3 available from the SpeakupModified-Development yum repository have been updated. These rpms are for installations of Fedora Core 6 (Linux) or the forthcoming Fedora Core 7 currently under development. They are based on Mozilla downloades from December 27 and include current state-of-the-art accessibility support. You can retrieve both source and binary rpm packages via ftp, http, or rsync. But the best way to keep your Firefox 3 updated is to use yum. WARNING: This is an early alpha build of Firefox. It is known to conflict with yelp and devhelp. You will probably need to remove these, and perhaps other rpms in order to install Firefox 3. Please note also that support for Firefox 3 in both Orca and LSR is still under active development, as is also the accessibility support within Firefox itself. To use yum with the Speakup Modified Fedora rpm package repository, you must first configure your system to access our repository. You will need do this only once. Become root on your FC6 system and issue the following command: rpm -iv http://SpeakupModified.Org/speakupmodified-release.rpm Thereafter, to update Firefox 3, become root and issue the following command all on one line: yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=speakupmodified-development update firefox -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.595.7777 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada--Go to http://ScreenlessPhone.Com to learn more.
