update Xandros to Firefox 3

Looking to upgrade to firefox 3 under the original Xandros distribution, after some trial and error I came to find that Asus has actually published updates for Firefox 3 and associated stuff like Flash Player. To do it add this entry to the apt source file

deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/1.6/ common main

(comment out the original entry). Now the following command will upgrade to Firefox 3 and Flash Player 10 (only partial output shown):

# apt-get update
# apt-get install firefox-upgrade
