installing the Fennec web browser for dummies
 

Forgive me if this is a repost, but I just noticed that Mark Finkle posted an update on Fennec this afternoon.

He also provided a link to installation instructions that are basic enough for even me to handle :p

You basically just have to add a new repository and then click on "Fennec".

Installation Instructions
Release Notes

I'll going to give it a go when I get home tonight.

77KB? that seems strangely small...

still, thanks. im going to give it a spin...

ah, see now that the real install file is 9,4MB, and the install will in total take up 26MB...

It looks like ~9.7MB to me, but like I said I haven't downloaded it yet.:confused:

Re: installing the Fennec web browser for dummies
 

yep, spotted that.

hmm, seems that it needs a N810 or a N800 with a bluetooth keyboard to get url entry. inscreen keyboard do not seem to work (didnt test full screen keyboard tho).

also, the scrolling is a bit strange. one have to stop before more of the page shows...

yeah my kid stole the batteries for his keyboard...nice....have to use the buggy bigger on...i get a segmentation fault...

Re: installing the Fennec web browser for dummies
 

It does say in releases notes you need Nokia n810

Re: installing the Fennec web browser for dummies
 

yeah oi reread it after i installed...oops....

Re: installing the Fennec web browser for dummies
 

heh, i guess im just to used to reading N810 requirements as N800/N810 requirements when it comes to software :P

They removed kinetic scroll in this new version. Still crashes after a couple of minutes/pages.
