This is a magnificent one! Can you imagine how many times I had to postpone updating Firefox, only because I didn't know how to install the updates at the very moment when the pop up window appeared.

Thank you Hamza! thank you very much! I will try your script :D

Have a nice day!
Porteus is proud of the FASTEST KDE ever made.....(take akonadi, nepomuk and soprano out and you will have a decent OS).

Hamza i will pass on my Xdialog library to you. It allows you to get things like a download progress bar by adding to your script:

Code: Select all

download http://link-here.com/file.zip "Downloading file now"
How do i become super user?

I love the cleanliness of your scripts Hamza. I love how non-cryptic your variables are. Excellent work bud.

EDIT:>>
Correct me if I am wrong. Aren't we using ".xzm" now?

Code: Select all

echo "Type your block size : " 
read B_SIZE
if [ "$B_SIZE" != "" ]; then 
mksquashfs $WRK /root/firefox.lzm -b $B_SIZE
else
mksquashfs $WRK /root/firefox.lzm -b 256K
fi
Sorry guys... I got to go. My girlfriend just casted "get your dirty ass into the shower" on me.

I know, but I don't update any scripts before the final version of v1.0

The XZM extension is used by v1.0 of Porteus only.

My scripts are for v0.9 of Porteus.

You must wait the final version of Porteus.

I figured it might be something as simple as that.

hello
before the first wget you should rm /tmp/index/html
if index.html exists you receive index.html.1 and so on
and the second wget search always for old index.html and not the recent one
Ca fonctionne pour moi
Salut!

I fixed the script to erase the index.html file in case of already exist file named index.html

Thank you for reporting this bug.

Unfortunately, this script doesn't work for me either. It fails, and then leaves me back at the prompt.

Fixed, I forgot to replace the old extension by the new one in "module checking" step at end.

Download it again and test it.
Let me know if it fails again.

The Firefox module builds, but when I type 'firefox', or 'firefox-bin' nothing is found. If I hadn't already deleted it, I suppose I could have extracted the contents to the hard-drive, but it's really doesn't matter. The default, although older, firefox + flashplayer + flashgot plugin works just fine.
