We will be using remote desktopping during the workshop in 1.015. Please seee me if you don’t know how to do this.This will mean you only need to make any changes once.
Pre download firefox 3 from :
http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/
It will mean we are all using the same version and make it easier to support during the time we have.
If you are unsure or need some help there is a screencast here:
