How to install firefox 1.5 on Sun solaris Sparc 10 Unix OS with out root access
Here are the steps to install firefox 1.5 on sparc (SOlaris 10) without root access requirments.
1.Down load latest Firefox from following url

6.Restart firefox. Bingo!zingzil! your browser is ready for flash.
Ok now another common plugin java plugin.
8.assuming you already installed java jre.
9.to link with oyur browser just issue following ocmmnd
ln -s /usr/java/jre/plugin/ sparc/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ./libjavaplugin_oji.so
your installed jre path may be different !!!!
So now you have your own browser with out any restrictions that to WITHOUT ROOT access.
i got one mail from india about recent bomb blasts …
Dear Terrorist,
We don’t know whether you are Hindu / Muslim / Christian / Indian / pakistani/ Afghanistani / Iraqi / American or from any part of the world but only name we can give you is terrorist.
Even if you are not reading this we don’t care. Time and again you tried to
disturb us and disrupt our life - killing innocent civilians by planting
bombs in trains, buses and cars. You have tried hard to bring death and
destruction, cause panic and fear and create communal disharmony but
everytime you were disgustingly unsuccessful. Do you know how we pass our
life in Mumbai? How much it takes for us to earn that single rupee? If you
wanted to give us a shock then we are sorry to say that you failed
miserably in your ulterior motives. Better look elsewere, not here.
We are not Hindus and Muslims or Gujaratis and Marathis or Punjabis and
Bengaliies. Nor do we distinguish ourselves as owners or workers, govt.
employees or private employees. WE ARE MUMBAIKERS (Bombay-ites, if you
like). We will not allow you to disrupt our life like this. On the last few
occassions when you struck (including the 7 deadly blasts in a single day
killing over 250 people and injuring 500+ in 1993), we went to work next
day in full strength. This time we cleared everything within a few hours
and were back to normal - the vendors placing their next order, businessmen
finalizing the next deals and the office workers rushing to catch the next
train. (Yes the same train you targetted)
Fathom this: Within 3 hours of the blasts, long queues of blood donating
volunteers were seen outside various hospital, where most of the injured
were admitted. By 12 midnight, the hospital had to issue a notification
that blood banks were full and they didn’t require any more blood. The next
day, attendance at schools and office was close to 100%, trains & buses
were packed to the brim, the crowds were back.
The city has simply dusted itself off and moved one - perhaps with greater
vigour.
We are Mumbaikers and we live like brothers in times like this. So, do not
dare to threaten us with your crackers. The spirit of Mumbai is very strong
and can not be harmed.
Please forward this to others. U never know, by chance it may come to hands
of a terrorist & He / She can then read this message which is specially meant for him / her !!!
With Love,
From the people of Mumbai (Bombay)
