Installing Programs
Hello,
I have a simple question. How do make it so i can lauch a program from the shell. For instance I want to install firefox 2 and I wanna launch it with ff2 in the terminal, so i tried this to my .bashrc file: alias ff2='/path/./firefox' and its not working as I would hope. anywho, thanks in advance. |

You didn't post the actual path, but it looks to me that maybe your alias is pointing to the directory firefox rather than the executable firefox? Your path should look something like: Code:
alias ff2='/opt/firefox/firefox |
