Backports for Ubuntu Linux 4.10 including Firefox 1.0 and k3b 0.11.17 are now available on the Ubuntu Backports Site
Basic Usage Info:
Add a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list like this:
deb http://ubuntu-bp.sourceforge.net/ubuntu warty-backports main universe
Package Testers
Use the above .deb line, replacing warty-backports with warty-backports-staging. Once a backport has been verified by me as functional, I'll upload it to the staging area for testing.
If the packages in the staging area work for you, file a 'Tested and Working' bug at our sourceforge project. (Don't make duplicates, please! look before filing; reply to existing ones!). Once enough people tell me it works, I'll move it to the stable backports section!
