I have been backing up the original links and redirecting them. E.g. cp /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox.dapper~ cd /usr/bin ln -s /opt/firefox-2/program/mozilla-firefox I know I can put a link to /opt/firefox-2/program/mozilla-firefox in /usr/local/bin, but how do I adjust my path so that the executable in /usr/local/bin runs before /usr/bin? What about programs that launch firefox with a hard-coded reference to the full /usr/bin path? I assume there is a better way to do this than I have been doing. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion PGP fingerprint: 52A4 B10C AA73 096F A661 92D2 3B65 8EAC ACC5 BA7A Keyserver: hkp://subkeys.pgp.net The attachment - signature.asc - is my electronic signature; no need for alarm.
