We talk about a lot of browsers here and when I searched I only seen that Fred mentioned it. I wanted to know anyones thoughts on it. I like it in linux it reminds me of my KM lol. Its available for windows to. Really simplistic with my open in background tab feature I love lol. Just been using it a few hours and wondered what everyone else thought of it. Here is the link guys:

BTW: I miss k-meleon in linux sad smiley For some reason it is slow under wine for me. I'll get around to messing around with it eventually.

Hv3 is an interesting project, but by far not as powerful
as K-Meleon yet. It may be usable for browsing without scripts
enabled, but still has much too many error messages, when
ECMA-script is enabled, which should deliver the functions of
javascript.
What is the Linux distro that you use currently ?
When used as a live system in ram, as it is the case in
Slax usually, which I remember having been used by you, there is a
minimal amount of ram useful, because all K-Meleons need some ram then,
although less then Firefox.
Using a different, slim window manager instead of the default KDE
would reduce the necessary ram used before the browser is even started.
Possible would be Icewm of Openbox with the Lxpanel.
Installing Slax on the computer would also help, but adding
a user with no administrator rights would be mandatory, and
this is also advisable even when using Slax as a live distro.
I have described in detail how to add a simple user in Slax
in an earlier post. here :

Thanks for your post Fred. I already use fluxbox in slax because I loved it from using PupFlux(puppy linux). I also added the sudo module and another module that adds users.

I would have continued using PupFlux if it wasn't for the fact that in puppy or its derivatives it would freeze after playing audio for a few minutes. Forcing a hard reboot. I just hated not being able to listen to music because of that problem. If it was a regular window manager in puppy like jwm, icewm, by it freezing it would corrupt my xorg and I couldn't run the wizard and i would have to delete my save file and start over sad smiley Also .pets in puppy they take forever to install for some reason so that adds to the frustration after a corrupted save file sad smiley.

If my save file in slax gets messed up all I do is delete it. I won't really lose anything because modules(programs) are seperate from it. I also made a module that copies my settings I backed up and placed elsewhere. Just load it the first time and take it back out of the modules folder.

See I like this place. Conversation starts one place and goes another lol

P.S. I do backup my save files but I got tired of having to use them all the time lol

Fred,

I have one problem under Slax when it comes to the user part. I can't give the user permission to connect to the net(wifi). I edited my rc.local to connect automatically before it gets to the sign in prompt. That works but then if it disconnects I can't reconnect. Even thru terminal if I become root I can't connect. Everything else I do that requires me being root I get a prompt asking for root permissions. Thats under KDE. I have a bash script I made to connect and disconnect as root that works great. I have to do that or connect thru terminal because the kwifimanager freezes the second it connects and the wireless assistant module just closes if I attempt to reconnect under root or a user. I have had those problems on two seperate computers. Any ideas? grinning smiley



Thanks

I have no experiences with wifi and do not know much there.
There must be many wifi users in the slax forum who will
probably be able to help you better with this problem.
Why are you asked for a root password in a sudo terminal ?
Do you have the line

yourusername ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

in your sudoers file ?
This should make it possible to work as sudo without
the password.
To edit sudoers you have to open it with visudo in
a root terminal (typing visudo only), as I described it
in the older post.
If visudo is not in your system you can also use nano,
or copy sudoers to Home and edit it with another editor,
before copying it back to /etc as root (as a root file).
