Considering the F11 builds, currently webkit is already available. I add various packages to the builds I install, in order to be able to run selected non-Sugar applications. For a long time, webkit dependencies were among the packages I was adding. But in both os108 and os11, those packages have been included in the build itself. To try out the Webkit backend, use 'yum install midori'. Surf-106.xo also uses the Webkit backend (though Surf has only limited function). mikus p.s. To me, midori appears equivalent to Browse in rendering - but its header lines take more room on my XO screen than the Browse header lines. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
