In other words, there is little that the epiphany developers or the Red Hat/Federa guys can do about it (well, except pushing the Mozilla guys or helping them finally release that). > Actually a neat browser <but> one of the reasons I prefer Firefix is > its modular nature, If I wanted to install Mozilla well then I'd > install the whole monolithic shebang wouldn't I? Well epiphany doesn't use "the whole monolithic shebang" even though it requires it to by installed. Like I said, this is temporary. On a related note, if I recall correctly, the latest epiphany can be built against firefox. [1] Firefox doesn't requires Mozilla to be installed but it duplicate the code Mozilla uses (obviously the browser part only). Regards, -- Ricardo Veguilla <veguilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
