Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.5

Yesterday, July 17, 2007, the Mozilla Foundation upgraded Firefox to Version 2.0.0.5.

As a result, I have made Beta 123, Build 1 of Rapidweather Remaster of Knoppix Linux with the new Firefox web browser included.

The previous Beta 122, Build 1 had Firefox 2.0.0.4.

Several security issues have been fixed, one of the main ones does not affect linux systems, only Windows systems where both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are used.

It has been nearly a month since I have issued a new Beta Build, so I used this chance to go ahead and make one. No other changes to the Remaster were made at this time, but I may use this opportunity to come up with something for Beta 123, and perhaps put it in Build 2.
I have some ideas of items that may be added, but I have not started on any of those possible projects at this time.
All in all, the Remaster is very useful as it is, and you may order a
copy of the CD by going to this page:

For now, I am going to be testing Beta 123, Build 1, and getting it transferred to my Sandisk Cruzer USB drives (see earlier post about running the system from a USB drive).
On that subject, I have made several different selection menu's that are used on computers with a USB drive. Although I have not placed all of those menu's in the file download package, you may go here, and download the package to see what these MSDOS batch files and other items look like.
You will still need the Rapidweather Remaster CD to put it all together. There is a good "readme" in the package with all of the details.

Stay Tuned!
