Micah have a routine on his laptop to speedup Iceweasel by a) making a backup of the config data, and b) copying over the backup data before each start of iceweasel. When I visited him a few days after Debconf10 I tried cleaning up his script, and believe it should be useful for this purpose - even if not doing the speedup half of using ramdisk. Here's the script: http://source.jones.dk/?p=bin.git;a=blob;f=localbackupiceweaselprofile;hb=HEAD I got disctracted soon after leaving New York and have not yet started using the script myself. If it does not make sense, then please do involve Micah - and keep me cc'ed. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
