  At work, I've been toying with the idea of using K-meleon as a lightweight browser for Windows, and have it reside on CD. Mozilla is way too bulky, and K-meleon supports all the useful plugins we might want to use. The power of this is that we can write demos that don't depend on the version of IE/whatever they might have on their machine. Pop in the CD, and you see the first page of a demo/site fullscreen.

From a dev standpoint, I feel that I'm almost there, but it's an odd thing I'm trying to do. K-meleon is used to a) having a disk it can write to for caching and config saves, and b) knowing its absolute path from a config file so that it can find prefs relative to it [in the CD case you can't, since the CD drive could be any drive letter]. The tries I''ve had so far have a limited K-meleon booting from CD, but only after a lot of waring dialogs saying it can't find config files.

I was hoping for some suggestions from the people who know the code intimately. I suspect there are two solutions. The best would be to find out any configs or prefs I should destroy/edit to make this work on a write-only volume. The next best would be to grab the v6 source and create a build that loads configs from the app-relative path without paths in the preference.

Anyone have some ideas about this? Thanks in advance....
