Default Browser and Mailer
I've installed Firefox and Thunderbird, but when they started up I didn't get the promt to set them as my default Browser and Mailer, respectively.
Is there an option in Knoppix where you can set these manually?
Thanks,
Mark

default browser
For default browser on your console as root
Code:
update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
choose mozilla-firefox
Later you'll encounter problem using mailto links on firefox that don't do nothing or url on your mails in thunerbird that don't open on Firefox.
To have communication between firefox & thunderbird follow these Instructions.
My paths for these instructions are: (depends on how you installed firefox & thunderbird, this paths are for apt method)
On firefox
Code:
/usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/mozilla-thunderbird-bin
On Thunderbird
Code:
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox (if you use firefox-bin it will launch the profile manager)
Tthere are other solution but this is the easy way
That instructions work on my Knoppix 3.7 hd install

Thanks very much
The update-alternatives bit doesn't seem to work, but I only really wanted to make the programs launch from within each other, and the way you suggested works perfectly
Thanks again,
Mark
