I got it from the Mepis 7 repos, I believe it was already converted to a .deb. I just fetched it from the Mepis 7 repos and it installed and worked with no problems or interaction from me other than setting up a soft link for Firefox to launch it.

What do you mean by soft link? I don't use Citrix now but I did use it for almost 7 years on a daily basis. I never got it working in Xandros the way I wanted it to unfortunately

Configuring Your Browser
These directions should work for Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, and any other Linux Mozilla-based browser. The first step is to find the plugins directory for the browser you wish to configure. The plugins directory is typically found as a subdirectory of the installation directory for your browser. If you are unsure of the location of your plugins directory, you can try the following command to attempt to locate the plugins directory:
find / -name plugins | grep -i "netscape\|firefox\|mozilla"
We’ll assume that we are configuring Firefox, and that Firefox was installed to /opt/firefox. Again the following will have to be done as the superuser (root). Change into the plugins directory of your browser:
cd /opt/firefox/plugins/
Next, create a symlink (aka softlink) to the Citrix ICA Client library:
ln –s /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so npica.so
If the Citrix install script was able to find Netscape, it probably already did this step for you
These instructions are kind of old but can be adapted to use with current Xandros. Citrix is running just fine in 4.5 OCE
I have not had any problems with Citrix working with Xandros since version 3.02
oh, this is the site I got the info from.

FYI- if you want to install Opera web browser on 4.5 do not download the Xandros version from the opera website. instead download the Debian Etch version from Opera website and install it. If you try to install the version for Xandros 4.1 you will get broken packages.

|
|
The "xserver" configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) of "XD 4.5" contains by default
configuration information for "Wacom Tablet". If a "Wacom Tablet" isnt installed, an
error message will be seen when "KDE" applications are started within "Console":
| Code: | X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 171
Major opcode: 149
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
F ailed to open device |
Remove this annoying message by manually editing the "xorg.conf file" or uninstall
unneccessary "xorg" input drivers within "Synaptic" or "Console":
| Code: | | apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-wacom xserver-xorg-input-all |

Howto install latest "Firefox" (without upgrading GTK libraries) and "Thunderbird"
in "XD 4.5". And easily keep both applications up to date from "Mozilla.org".
Download the "DEB" packages compiled for "EeePC" (Etch) from "TUXFamily.org":
http://download.tuxfamily.org/xepcrepo/pool-main/f/firefox/firefox_3.0.1-1%2beeepc1_i386.deb *
http://download.tuxfamily.org/xepcrepo/pool-main/t/thunderbird/thunderbird_2.0.0.14-1%2beeepc1_i386.deb
Open "Console" with "Administrator" (root) privilegies and type:
-"apt-get remove firefox" (no qoutes)
-"apt-get remove thunderbird" (no qoutes)
Open the download directory within "Console" and type:
-"dpkg -i firefox_3.0.1-1+eeepc1_i386.deb" (no qoutes)
-"dpkg -i thunderbird_2.0.0.14-1+eeepc1_i386.deb" (no qoutes)
Create shortcuts within "Menueditor":
-"Mozilla Firefox" with "/opt/firefox/firefox" (no qoutes) command
-"Mozilla Thunderbird" with "/opt/thunderbird/thunderbird" (no qoutes) command
Select icons for the applications":
-"Mozilla Firefox" in the "/opt/firefox/icons" directory.
-"Mozilla Thunderbird" in the "/opt/thunderbird/icons" directory.
Create an "symbolic link": from "/opt/firefox/plugins" to
"/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so" if you
are using "adobe-flash-player 9.0.115.0-1xandros1". Or to
"/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so" with the newer
"adobe-flash-player 9.0.124.0-1asus1".
To update these applications, just click on the
applications "Help" > "Check for Updates".
*=To give "Firefox 3" the "GTK2" look, "GTK" theme "Clearlooks" needs an update,
available from "Mepis" and "64Studio" repositories. But other "GTK" packages will be
upgraded at the same time. Could the "Alien" trick be an work around that?
And thats it  ...

Bit of a dumb question but why not "sudo apt-get install firefox" like in Ubuntu? My point is that it should be easier than you make it...

It works with one "Firefox" version in one repository. But "EeePC"
offers several. This version also installs in another directory. However,
those who uses "Synaptic Packet Manager" and the "XEPC" repository
enabled can uninstall and install it at once, except creating shortcuts
and symbolic link.

Works fine here. Even if my sytem is updated over the edge (now again),
there shouldnt be any differences.

LOL, so funny. I am a Linspire 5 user, and for some time now I have just downloaded Firefox directly from mozilla.org and done my own setup. I cannot install Firefox 3.0 this way in Linspire 5 due to ... well I am sure many of you have read the issues with missing packages.
At any rate, I am currently messing around with Xandros 3, and really like it, but I could also not install FF3, usual cannot execute issues. So, I downloaded the eeePC .deb package, but when I ran it, it just broke the Firefox that comes with X3 and also the version 2.0.0.12 that I already installed myself from mozilla.org.
So I went to Xandros Network and tried to install FF3 from there. Lo and behold it installed Firefox, but it is actually back to the version 1.5.0.5 that I started with.
Back to mucking with it and see where I get before I replace Xandros 3 with Xandros 4.5. I am quite impressed so far with Xandros Network, seems I like it better than I liked CNR 
And BTW, no need for anyone to run to my rescue here, I kinda enjoyed the whole break it fix it process, since that is how I learn things the best.
