Hi All,
I'm sorry I haven't jumped in earlier, I've been waiting until I had
some news to tell.
What is currently up there is the "pre-alpha", and we know/knew about
the firefox issue. It was caused with the way we built firefox. It
wouldn't start either by gui or command line.
That being said, that was a "pre-alpha", so early it wasn't even worthy
of being an alpha.
In the next couple days, we will be pulling down everything that is
currently in 6rolling, redoing the directory structure, and putting up
the first "alpha" release.
Once that is up there, we welcome tests and comments and want to have
your feedback. But for right now, we ask you to please be patient.
There are definitely things wrong in the pre-alpha, and we believe they
will be fixed in the alpha.
Thanks
Troy
