I just installed Mac OS 9.1 build 2001052508 with only the Navigator
module. It works as expected, but I do have questions...
- Why is the Address Book still included if I didn't install Mail /
News? I see no function for an Address Book in a plain ol' web browser.
- Why isn't Composer a separate module? I have a feeling that very few
people are going to use Mozilla / Netscape for page editing, and even if
separating Composer doesn't offer much in RAM or hard disk usage
savings, doing so would at least make Mozilla that much less cluttered
for those who choose not to install Composer.
- There has been conversation about the fact that Mail / News can't be
installed without Navigator. It seems to me that Navigator itself
contains much of the core of Mozilla -- would it be possible to make
this core part of the "standard" Mozilla install so that each module
(heck, someone might even want just Chatzilla) could be installed on its
own?
I know any of the changes I've suggested could cause tumultuous changes
to the code that probably wouldn't be worth exploring until Mozilla as
it is reaches a 1.0 release, but I thought I'd bring them up just as a
thought.
