I was using Netscape 3.04, so perhaps 4.77 is better. However, it was interesting that the browser with a smaller footprint, designed for 486s, is actually significantly slower than the much larger, up-to-date browser. > Perhaps, but aren't we getting a bit ahead of ourselves? Maybe, maybe not. I expect people to be running X on BL2 in March. > Isn't this something that people can play around with > after they have installed BL? Sure, people can play if they like. However, BasicLinux is a slim installation -- you can not depend on everything being there by default. I think it is important for me to trail-blaze important applications (like a graphical browser). For example, it was not easy getting Netscape 3.04 to work on BL1. Sure, the instructions look simple enough; but it took many, many hours of trial and error to get it that simple. In a couple of months time, I want to do the same thing for BL2. Before then, I would like to know which browser we are heading for. I'm having to make choices about what goes into the BL2 foundation. Some of those choices could be relevant to the browser.
