it is an old version of ubuntu, can I still install other applications to it and specifically browsers other than firefox?

I believe I had it in 6.06. The problem might be that you are using a distro that no longer has support. What system are you using?

[Merps]

I think it is 7.04, if it is out of support, is there no way to install apps anymore? the problem is that firefox is clogging up my system.

I had tried applications --> add/remove and synaptic package manager and they all seem to be out of action.

That said there must be a way to install applications on old versions?

You can try to download a .deb file of the application you want to install.
Try to search for it on the inet.

you mean try and install from a source file, or is there a debian installer too?

from here?
http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/Downloads

then how to install?

There should be a deb installer. Epiphany's homepage is here: Epiphany

[Michael.Godawski]

try this

http://packages.debian.org/en/etch/i...y-browser/down

try this

http://packages.debian.org/en/etch/i...y-browser/down

Debian

skip the navigation

Error

two or more packages specified (down epiphany-browser)


it points to an error, what to do with it anyway, I am not familiar with debian at all.

cool link, and I wrote a question to their mailing list about this, but I can't see an obvious approach there either.

I tried it anyway:
