The download page > says to look in ftp://galeon.ufies.org/pub/galeon/debian but that > link is dead. there are not debian packages for galeon. every so often one appears there but i would never use it, because i don't think its made by a real debian developer. (which usually means someone just aliened an rpm which is no good at all).. i just compile galeon from source, which is quite easy when you have the above packages installed (also install a few gnome-dev stuff) ./configure && make && su -c 'make install' installs into /usr/local very nicely (unlike mozilla). if at some point debian packages galeon correctly, you can run make uninstall to remove it from /usr/local. this arrangment works quite well for me, i compile kitame's mozilla packages on my potato box, i compiled most of the gnome source packages from sid on my potato box (galeon needs newer gnome then what potato has) then i install galeon from source. i make it a policy to never use unoffical debs, mozilla being the only [halfway] exception since mozilla is next to impossible to install into /usr/local correctly (read not windows style in /usr/local/mozilla). kitame's packages are real debian packages that are in potato, just upgrades mozilla to the current version. i imagine galeon will not get packaged for debian until mozilla is packaged for debian (mozilla m18 does not count). -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
