Frankly why bother? If you are running a 'desktop' for every client then adding firefox will be insignificant, so running as a local app is just pain-n-suffering without reason. 256M for firefox on a THIN CLIENT is usually enough, but I can show you sites that will crash your client with 256M. Now you want to run the whole local-firefox-app with only 256M. Unless you are having fun, want to try this, and enjoying the learning save your self the pain and suffering James ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
