Hello Vasillis,

Please find attached a copy of the /var/log/installer/syslog file

Also, could you please let me know where I can find some assistance
with installing the Firefox browser on Ubuntu? I have tried to read
the documentation and follow the instructions but I am having no luck!

many thanks,
Jonathan Marimo
