Despite the fact that I haven't posted in a while, I have been looking at the
mozilla source to see about getting it to run off the CD-ROM.  I have a general
idea of what I need to do, but this is the first time I've delved into the
source of this project and it's huge!  :)  Anyways, I've also had some
technical difficulties setting up a working environment to develop in since at
home I generally only have linux boxes.  I've got a WinME box up and running
now and I hope to have some real work done soon.  If anyone else has been doing
anything along this direction, or knows some actual mozilla developers who
could help, let me know!   

Thanks.
