If it says "Image" you have very odd problems.
Seriously though, yum install firefox would currently give you Firefox 38 on CentOS 5. I would suggest sticking to the CentOS-provided firefox.

I edited it. the image would not load.
I had been dealing with this for days. I could'nt install vnc server on it at first. Was stressful.

See if yum install bzip2 helps with the extraction issue. I have a bad feeling you will run into issues if you try to use the Mozilla-provided firefox, but it's a free world..

Firefox 38 is available via yum for CentOS 5 and since it's the ESR version, it already has fixes for any vulnerabilities that might have been fixed by 39.
We don't recommend installation from tarballs or source.

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

The xterm window seens to be higher than your screen size. So make the xterm window smaller and move it to a place on the screen where you can see the whole window.thomas.bankton wrote:I now can't scroll down
This is because you don't have a desktop, at least there is none on the screenshot you have posted.thomas.bankton wrote:And I don't even see the icon on my desktop(Gui)

You need to make sure your vnc server will start a gnome session. Something like
in ~/.vnc/xstartup (don't forget to make this file executable!) should do the trick.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
gnome-session &
