There is no need to purge it from your system if you have already installed it. If you are running firefox without proprietary plugins, you are running Free Software. The problem is new users who are unaware of the problem being misled into installing non-free software. Unless the problem becomes pervasive and can no longer be remediated by informing and explaining there's no need for any drastic cleansing actions that would take developer time away from more important things. On the other hand, if you have the time and knowledge the most contructive course would be to not use firefox yourself and try out the binary test version of GNU-Iceweasel at http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/iceweasel-1.5.0.7-g2-i386.tar.bz2 That way you can help upstream so that the Iceweasel will be in better shape when it finally replaces firefox. friendly, Andreas _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
