I have uploaded to Rapidshare.com a second version, that is suitable
to use in Linux with the Wine emulator.
K-Meleon-Linux-usable-1.8.1-v2 is a simplified version of K-Meleon 1.x ,
updated to Mozilla 1.8.1.7 using Gecko/20061022.
Look and feel are similar to the earlier 0.9 versions.
This version 2 should work with more Linux distributions than the first one.
It could also be used in Windows, if a simpler version is preferred.
Download as zip at :
http://rapidshare.com/files/8501853/K-Meleon-Linux-usable-1.8.1-v2.zip.html
or as tarball at :
http://rapidshare.com/files/8502282/K-Meleon-Linux-usable-1.8.1-v2.tar.gz.html
Note :
This version works only if you have the files mfc71.dll, msvcp71.dll
and msvcr71.dll in your system or in your K-Meleon folder.
If you need them, they are still available under the name
dll-installer on the KM 8.2 website at :
http://www.lontronics.nl/index.php?m=0006
This will install the files on your system .
If necessary in Linux, copy the files manually to the K-Meleon main folder.
A javascript button has been included. After changing permissions for javascript, reload the page.
If an error message should appear at the second startup, click the button again and remove later the hook for "always ask"in Edit/ManageProfiles.
History must be deleted manually in the profile folder, after having closed the browser.

When used in Linux with Wine:

It's preferable to use "windows only" mode without layers for better stability.
It is not advisable to use groups of more than 3 or 4 websites, better use no groups at all to avoid browser failures.
A minor flaw, that has not been fixed yet, is that the URL bar sometimes
won't change to show the actual URL after clicking links.
If fonts should not work in wine, copy fonts from your windows installation
to the " .wine " configurations folder, to the subfolder "fonts" and restart the browser.
Take care that you have the needed permissions to write and execute.
Certain instabilities should be tolerated when K-Meleon is used in Linux.
