Dillo's still in the main iso.I agree with Green. Dillo is definitely of value to me on my old old laptop when I quickly want to look at a regular bookmarked page including the DSL site. It miles quicker than Firefox (slow generally) and Dillo's bookmarks are more accessable. It's nice to try integrated Firefox (as none of the earlier .DSL extensions worked for me) and it is a real feather in the hat for DSL but Dillo is really more in keeping with the 'keep it small' ethos maintained so far. It is inevitable that 'small' might need to be redefined by John and RobertS others at some point soon and the 50meg ISO maximum increased. Merry Xmas to you all.Dillo is great for quick viewing of local *.html files
It is also good for older computers and it loads up faster on all computers. It is especially useful when running DSL embedded on a newer computer because programs run slower when using DSL embedded.
Firefox is nice for serious web browsing while booting up DSL natively on most computers.
Still, for older machines I recommend that you download and try out the Opera myDSL extensions.
Opera 6.12 is fast even on old computers like my Pentium 1 60Mhz machineDillo is a must, after all the hard work done by John and friends to upgrade it specially for DSL! It is a pain only on the rare occasion ;-) The great thing about DSL is that it can work on old machines (BTW have you seen lynx at work?), but if we are at a newer machine, we can add X windows (maybe not quite well yet) /Open Office/Gimp/Mplayer etc from the options directory in seconds and get them to work!
Flexibility is the name! Customisable is the game. No pain. No game. Next Page...
