Incidently, Ice Weasel is not much more than Mozilla's Linux version of Fire-Fox which they developed for Windows. Ice-Weasel increases the scope of your browsing capability, especially where Java Script is concerned. I have had quite an experience with the processing and/or use of NLS books, but I have reached the point where I believe myself to be at the point where I am qualified to write a brief manual on the subject. Also the use of portable peripherals such as flash-drives is another thing with which I have perforce become proficient. I would be happy to share all of my experience and hard-won knowledge on these topics if doing so would prevent others from experiencing the headaches that I myself experienced. Hells-bells, had it not been for this group, blind-l and BardTalk, I would be in quite a fix out of which there would be no appreciable egress. Internet browsing, reading NLS books and using flash-drives and the like, pose different challenges for linux users than they do for those who use Windows as their primary operating system. This tends to put a bit of a kink in the learning curve. However, the extra challenges aren't at all insurmountable.
