I think the Firefox insertion is a good thing. Dillo isn't too atractive for the average user and gLinks is a complete puzzel for starters (like me

). I messed up a DSL install with apt-get already quite a few times but with every fresh install came Opera 6.12 static again in order to have a decent browser.

I use DSL as an excellent way to get some live in an old Toshiba 530 CDT P166mmx with wireless internet. Tapping this message right before I go to sleep is the result (hence the crappy content :P ).

I also missed scite, mp is a lot skinnier. However, scite can be obtained via the MyDSL repository very easily. Unfortunately quite a few reps seem to be offline at the moment. I'll just have to be patient.

Just wondering why, now that Firefox is built in, we can't get rid of dillo and glinks, to free up some room and get scite back? But I don't know the relative size of each of them, or which particular uses they may have...
True, I always use the extensions, so scite is easy to pack back in, but if it could somehow be squeezed back in I think it's one of the core utilities that people use...

Glinks isnt there anymore.

Dillo is there for low-ram systems, and because its easy to use as a gui for many things.

Links-Hacked is still there because a console-mode browser is handy to have around.
