Hey it's cool that you got *some* version of Firefox in DSL (and 0.9.1 is spiffy in its own right), but how about the released 1.0?

Yes, but it's 1.0 PR (not the release version) and it's also not included on the CD itself, which is preferable for a variety of reasons. It seems if they can get Firefox 0.9 on the DSL CD, 1.0 shouldn't be that much more difficult.

We will need to compile Firefox from source for it to work with DSL natively, which only has GTK 1.2 (because of size restrictions) and the Linux version destributed by Mozilla requires GTK2.Give us some time.

You should also be able to get the distribution a lot smaller that way as well.

Brian - good to see U'r on more than just the smoothie team!
I only occasionally read this forum so I don't care to join, but I'll ask a question here:
To fit Firefox 1.0 on DSL, has noon tried to wrap-up some of DSL's more bulky items using LZMA and unpack them at boot?
< http://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip >
(There's no been no posts here for either LZMA or p7zip yet)
