How to Install Mozilla Browser

[Rizwan84tx]

I checked in SAM -> SD-UX. Under Installed software i can see Firefox and GTK, so i have the software install, but i cant use the BROWSER. I need your help in configuring the browser.
Also i have attached the screen-shot.

>Under Installed software I can see Firefox and GTK,

I would toss that (1.5) as obsolete. The latest is 2.0.0.19.02.

Have you set up your DISPLAY variable?

[Rizwan84tx]

No I haven't and i have no idea about Display variable...could you guide me through?

From where do you access this server? Windoze or linux pc? Something else?

[Rizwan84tx]

Windows XP via Putty

[Torsten.]

So you need a XServer on that PC, e.g. XMing.

Start this application on your PC, then connect to the server,

> putty -X

Why i need to use Xming to configure firefox??

[Torsten.]

You need a XServer running on your PC in order to display the X windows or any GUI application.

I use RSA Authentication Private key to login to HPUX box. Is there any X-Server which supports that?

[Torsten.]

You should first read some lines in order to understand what a XServer does.
