thunderbird

Thunderbird electronic communication

Program installation:

install the latest available versions of e2fsprogs, tar, wget, and xz
verify, via the command-line interface, that sufficient, free partition space >=(14MB+33MB+4MB)=50MB is available:

df -H

download and install the thunderbird software package to /mnt/home/mozilla via the command-line interface:

mkdir -p /mnt/home/mozilla && wget -t 0 --retry-connrefused -c -N -S -T 16 -w 1 --random-wait --no-dns-cache -P /mnt/home/mozilla --no-cache --no-cookies http://www.smokey01.com/coolpup/thunderbird-7.0.1-20111001.txz && cd /mnt/home/mozilla && tar xfJv thunderbird-7.0.1-20111001.txz && rox /mnt/home/mozilla

this package does not upgrade any existing thunderbird installations but it will make use of any existing profiles and settings which are, by default, located at: /root/.mozilla

Advantages of this TXZ package compared with the equivalent SFS package:

smaller-size software package to download
program operation uses a non-compressed file-system (i.e. should run slightly faster)
fewer compatibility issues (e.g. no squash file-system conversions necessary)
re-booting not required (i.e. easier to install)

Dependencies: +bzip2,+curl,+grep,+openssl,+sqlite,+tar
