Mozilla told Debian effectively that they could not package it at all and call it Firefox, as Mozilla wanted to be able to handle security updates themselves or something. I think the situation is probably a little more relaxed now, but remember that the version of Firefox you can download from Mozilla is under some T&C that prohibits commercial distribution, amongst other things. -- Matt Lee http://www.linkedin.com/in/metamattl -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
