If your looking for a small browser, check out dillo, its about 300k... It's on KNOPPIX... www.dillo.org[/url]

dillo can only be an 'initial' browser as it lacks some very key features(for today's web) like SSL and cookie. I include it in my bareX so I can do quick browsing, mostly for looking up info while I am apt-getting mozilla at the background.

apt-get gnome-core mozilla-xft mozilla-psm

this combination will give you the desktop, browser, filer(Nautilus) and nothing more, not even printer management or dialer for PPP etc.

Newbie question about print support:

are there another little program like gnome-cups-manager in order to easily configure cups to include in this mini-cd with openoffice?

And what about sound ?

I have no idea. Some said a browser can be used to manage CUPS. As for sound, I just let the system load the OSS driver and it is up to the application to control it, I believe.

Thanks garyng,

Based on your answer I found it in google (cups configure browser)

Look at this link:

No need to install gnome-cups-manager or kdeprintwizard, only cups and a browser !
