Hi All,
Trying to install the latest version of firefox. I installed a frugal ver 5.02 install to a HDD. First application I wanted to install was firefox which is now up to version 25.0 (as of 10/29/13).
I easily used acquired firefox-get from the Apps Browser and opened a terminal prompt and ran firefox-get which asked me for the version number which I entered 25.0 and it went merrily on it's way uncompressing and doing it's fine job but the last step it gave me the message 3 times:
cp: can't create '/mnt//optional/': Is a directory
cp: can't create '/mnt//optional/': Is a directory
cp: can't create '/mnt//optional/': Is a directory
Any ideas?
Thanks!

What is the output of "ls -l /etc/sysconfig/tcedir" ?
-
The output is:
/mnt/sda1/tce

Did you use a 'norestore' boot option?
This script does not take that possible boot option into account.
-
Yes I was trying to create an internet kiosk as noted in the http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:kiosk (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:kiosk)
Is there a different method to pursue using that boot option?
Thanks

Silly question I guess I just remove that option to install it and change it later.
-
OK will get back to this thread after I get an install problem figured out I started in another thread about it not detecting the HDD after I installed it on another PC.
:(

OK yes that worked. I temporarily removed 'norestore' from the boot options.
It would be nice though if the script had a note during running that let the user know this for the future :)
Thanks again!
