Sorry Rolf, That url appears on the following page:
http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/12/1-click-install-ubuntu-studio- theme-in.html I just clicked "copy link location" and pasted it. The issue I was having is that I couldn't look at what was being executed before executing it. On gutsy if I right click the one-click-install link as it appear in the above mentioned page, then click "Save link as", it runs the associated ubuntu program which attempts to install all the different parts. I don't know if it is a security threat, but it doesn't make sense to me to have it run a program when I try to save any content pointed to by the link. My guess is they got firefox to pass the apt:// urls to ubuntu to install the corresponding programs, instead of downloading the content and displaying it. But a "Save link As" will normally cause the browser to follow the link, and shoot the content to disk. I suppose when the browser goes to download the content in the first part of a "Save link As" operation, the download function defaults to invoking ubuntu to install the stuff instead. Whether or not I have a good grasp of whats happening, I don't believe this should be the default behavior.
