Yes they can. For a long time I am doing this with Firefox for the difference in Unicode support for Bangla: how one HTML is really behaving or things like that. Boot into init 3, obviously, by editing '/etc/inittab'. And then, start the X for the normal user with the usual command 'startx'. In my case I created a second user 'dd1' (my normal is 'dd'). Go to a second virtual console with Ctrl+Alt+F?, login as dd1, then start another X, with 'startx --:1', assuming that the first X started in :0. This new X will be available at Ctrl+Alt+F8 while the first X will be at Ctrl+Alt+F7. And then, as this user, install the other version of Firefox, while the original version is running on the first X. It will get a bit slower, obviously, with two simultaneous X running. It is literally a RAMification. The config files in .mozilla in /home/dd/ will contain the first setting, while those in /home/dd1/ will contain the second one. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
