Install FireFox or Opera in BareBones Puppy 1.0.3
There seems to be a DPI deamon error with Dillo (YUM dill with fish)
HOWEVER:
Use Pupget to download Opera (and hey why not use that)
Use Pupget to uninstall Opera now or later dependent on requirements
Use Opera to download Firefox
Click on Firefox tgz file in rox
Select all and extract
Find firefox directory and run install
Running Firefox from BareBones right now . . .
using above method

Maybe this thread will help.papaschtroumpf wrote:can you add firefox, remove Mozilla and Thunderbird and not break anything then?
(or more exactly, not install it to start with when building your liveCD, then add firefox?)
if you remove all the browser packages, Unleashed may not be happy ... i made a dummy firefox package (called firefox-dummy), which has a pinstall.sh file with this line in it:
echo -n "firefox" > /tmp/rightbrwsr.txt
which seems to keep Unleashed happy
firefox seems to take about 21 megs of hard drive space
i'm running the Firefox 1.1 Alpha (Deer Park) right now
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/deerpar ... lpha1.html
it seems to run faster than 1.04
adblock and mouse gestures work ok
it has a forward-dns-requests feature, so you can connect directly to Tor without leaking your dns requests to a dns server, so you don't need to use something like Privoxy

Papaschtroumpf, you are way ahead of me. Partly because I am very busy a lot of the time.
I would love to be able to get my hands on an icewm and firefox unleashed. they were top of my list. If you do do the firefox unleashed, can you do an adblock extension either as a seperate unleashed package or as aprt of the firefox package?
If you make these packages, please let me have them.

i can't upload a package larger than 1 meg ... so a Firefox dotpup would be too big
but i can easily make a dotpup that will download and install Firefox (or Thunderbird or Opera)
and/or i can make a dotpup that will download Firefox and make an Unleashed package
Firefox and Thunderbird are very easy to install anyway ... download the tgz file ... unzip it ... and run it ... you don't even need the installer

what about when you find the golden browser
when you find what you want to use how do you remove the others you never plan to use. and also what about defaulting it so those other ones never see the light of day again
