Could gnome ad a knob to allow me bypass building mozilla if I have mozilla-devel? I'm willing to live with mozilla-embedded and mozilla-headers for nautilus and galeon, but I want mozilla-devel for my default GNOME browser without the ambiguity of multiple versions floating around. jmc On Tue, 2002-09-03 at 13:23, Joe Marcus Clarke wrote: > On Tue, 2002-09-03 at 16:21, John Merryweather Cooper wrote: > > Well, while I can see why why Mozilla 1.1 would be considered "bleeding > > edge" (it has a lot of extra features), and I can see why some would > > prefer Mozilla 1.0.x (because features cause bulk, etc.), to me, 1.1 is > > the release.
