Installing a program
Finished installing freebsd and just installed firefox from the ports collection.
Which file do I have to edit (and how) so a "firefox" command would launch it without having to type in the entire directory? =/ Also, I would appreciate it if you could point me towards any documentation about setup and configuration of freebsd/unix, besides the freebsd handbook. Thanks. |

My OS is linux. Not a BSD'ish system.
Usually firefox should launch the browser firefox. But it could thrown up the following error Code:
sh-2.05b$ firefox Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting. Code:
alias firefox='/home/vino/firefox-installer/firefox-bin' Put that alias in your .bashrc or .bash_profile; whichever you use, so that you need not set the alias everytime. Alternatively, you could do Code:
vi `which firefox` vino |
