downloaded iron.deb
as root, dpkg -i iron.deb
nothing happened

need to know how to (1) properly install the iron.deb package and, (2) remove Iceape

cd into the folder to where you downloaded iron.deb to. Then do dpkg To remove iceape it's apt-get remove iceape as root.

thanks,
likely a problem with my original .deb download
downloaded again, as root, dpkg -i iron.deb and it worked perfectly
thanks again

well ...

iron worked perfectly, again thanks
however, a popup says that adobe flash player needs updating
so ... how do you install a tar.gz download?

follow the instructions here how-i-updated-from-flash-10-to-flash-11-beta-t3300.html It'll show you how to update to flash 11

thanks,
OK looks like your recommendation is to upgrade rather than install the tar.gz, will do

just curious, when I installed the .deb package for iron, where did antiX stick the stuff for this program?

I believe that Iron's been installed to /opt if you install the deb

You can do what deepdayze suggested or type in the terminal.

whereis iron

thank you both

Hmm, I did the following.

Add this repo to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://iron-browser.gunah.eu/"
linktext was:"http://iron-browser.gunah.eu/"
====================================
iron-browser main

apt-get update
apt-get install iron-browser

Once installed, in fluxbox menu, Auto-Update menu and iron appears in Applications->Internet

anticapitalista,

thanks
successfully installed iron before receiving your post; your way seems easier than what I did ...
after installation, in fluxbox menu, iron appears in Applications->Internet

now ...
in fluxbox, the fluxbox menu, how do I change the Browser option to launch Iron rather than IceApe?

Open antiX control centre -> Edit fluxbox Settings -> In Menu tab -> edit [exec] (Browser) {iceweasel} to [exec] (Browser) {i/usr/share/iron/iron}

anticapitalista,
thanks
will give it a run now

anticapitalista,
thanks again
2 small changes to your post
{i/usr/share/iron/iron} to {/usr/share/iron/iron} | for some reason it would not launch with the i/

[exec] (Browser) {i/usr/share/iron/iron -incognito} | launches iron in incognito mode

again thanks, learning antiX, slowly but surely

Sorry my typo, [exec] (Browser) {/usr/share/iron/iron} is correct.
