I am Jadesfire. Hear me roar

[jadesfire]

Rawr.

I am stupidly proud of myself right at this moment and just had to share. My little laptop runs a version of Linux called 'linpus lite' which is kind of like Fedora only not quite. Because of this, I've been living with Firefox2, on the basis that installing Firefox3 was big and scary.

Not any more. Oh no. I carefully copied all the codes, changed the root directory and ran the little program that someone wrote to re-install necessary parts of Firefox2 and the result?

Well, right now, the spellchecker is underlining everything as being mis-spelt, but I'm sure that will go off ;)

I no longer have to zoom in to see things in an LJ posting box. It's shiny and new and all exciting because I did it myself!

If I can do this, I can pretty much do anything!

ETA: AND I'd already installed Spotify on it earlier in the evening. I'm all teched up!

I'm so chuffed!

YOU ARE AWESOME! :D

*grin* I can follow instructions like an expert and DO NOT PANIC when it doesn't work first time. I'm just so relieved I still have the internet, even if Firefox thinks I can't spell *anything*

I should probably do something about that...

YAY!!! Go YOU!

See? I'd have no idea how to do that *is impressed*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I found several sets of instructions, copied them down, crossed my fingers and went for it :) It went a lot faster when I found a geek who actually spoke English!

Congratulations! I still need to get around to working that one out on my little Acer, but as I only use it while travelling it hasn't been a priority so far.... :)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

My main priority for my Acer was VLC so I could watch stuff on the move, but the Firefox has been driving me mad for a while. It was a little nerve-wracking, but there are some really good, clear guides online if you Google enough ;)

I can't even understand what you said you did, but it sounds pretty awesome.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*grin* Mostly copy-typing, crossing my fingers and being brave...
