At work I have this ram but not at home only 756Mb so I will take timeto 
compile (time to read perhaps :-) ). For the time being I have to 
download a source equivalent to yours. Do you have a specific adress or 
do I search on the mozilla site ? One question, when you speak of 
mozilla, you speak of firefox, am I wrong ?
