[Off topic, I guess but here goes.. ] Mozilla on UNIX platforms only requires the addition of the GTK libraries, and ORBit (primarily for the IDL stuff) library, which is a lot better than having to install QT & KDE (or even GNOME!) For security, you may use the OpenSSL library as well. After compiling and packing for distribution, you end up with a ~10 megabyte tarball. Installing it takes up ~30MB of disk space, which compares very favourably with M$ Internet Exploder and its ilk. Since most UNIX-based GUI programs uses the X11 software, it's an indispenable part of most distributions. What I'm not sure of is whether Mozilla can be compiled on a UNIX platform using the GTK console framebuffer toolkit. Maybe I'll give that a try, Ghods only knows how bored I am on a Friday night! It's a shame that a lot of software requires the use of GNOME or KDE. I won't install GNOME or KDE on my box, because I don't feel it necessary, when one can get by using just the GTK library with Blackbox. -- Come the revolution, humourless gits'll be first up against the wall. http://www.tahallah.demon.co.uk
