Firefox associations

OK- I am liking this distro! Citrix works fine, and JRE update 3 is excellent.

Firefox extensions:
- does not launch GSview automatically when you want to view PDFs
- does not launch GXine (?should it be replaced with XMMS instead)

DVD playing:
- the whole screen blinks at rate of about once every 5-10 seconds. Funny, this.

I am running as liveCD on a P4 system. 1 GB RAM (CPU usage at 30%, 4% RAM usage).

I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I think I can get it to just open the PDF immediately, but what I want is for it to default to gsview in the "open with" option, but to still show the option.

Good point. I'll check if the Seamonkey plugin is compatible.

As for replacing with XMMS, that only covers audio. So then we'd have to have to have XMMS and a video player. Freidsonjm said he wants to avoid duplication and keep things simple, so I decided to just stick with Gxine.

I haven't watched a DVD on my computer in almost a year, and even then it was only a couple times. So I don't really know what might be causing that. Did it do the same thing in the standard Puppy 3.01?

One idea: Try disabling Conky, and maybe also the clock and calendar.
