I haven't gotten midori to work in a satisfying way. There are a few sticking points: How do you import bookmarks from firefox? How, when you get a directory listing from a directory on your own hard drive, do you get it sorted in some kind of sensible order? Exploring my own file system in the browser is a pain without this. Where is the documentation? Is there any? Is there even a mailing list? Or a user forum? Raising questions on the github site just gets me an offputting uninformative reply. -- hendrik > > I read about this change in several places, Arch and Gentoo have builds > that re-enable Alsa.
