    What version of Kubuntu are you using?

        Adept Manager in 8.10 has a problem with packages that have names of less than four characters, making it difficult to find certain packages. Plus, the Adept Manager in 8.10 just plain sucks IMO. :P

        Open a console and type:
        Code:
        sudo apt-get install synaptic
        This will install the Synaptic package manager - a much better package manger than the current Adept Manager.

        Open Synaptic (it will be in the K Menu under Applications > System) and search on firefox and click on the square box to the left of the package name. This will open an option box. Click on Mark for Installation and then on Apply to install. Firefox will then be available on the K Menu in Applications > Internet

              Yes.

              K Menu > Applications > Terminal > Terminal

              You can also open a terminal by pressing Alt+F2 and typing konsole
