FireFox seems like a much better match for an internet
appliance than full blown Mozilla. Mozilla requires a
lot of configuration which can be a bother each time
Byzantine starts up. It also has many apps and features
that are useless without a hard drive, specifically
Mail and News. It does not do much good to setup mail
servers and download a bunch of mail just to have it
all nuked on reboot. I imagine most users have webmail
accounts instead. I've also noticed some clunking even
on pretty darn fast machines from the old Mozilla Suite
when browsing with multiple tabs.
It would be nice, then, to at least have an alternate
download ISO with FireFox with maybe a couple
unintrusive plugins installed like All-in-One Mouse
Gestures and Single Window.

Byzantine boots right into Mozilla. We hope it will do
files:, search:, http:, and email: on the internet just by
going to internet address.
what is more interesting for 90% of computer users are
dialup modem capability. Java webstart did not have dialer
and ppp on/off yet.
