Hi Jaromil!

Yes - and no ;)

If i succeed in my attempt with jwm, i'd like to set palemoon as
default browser; it's a bit hard if there is no package ...

But for sure, it's correct what you say about keeping the core packages
as small as possible. OTOH, i for one, would not mind if
icewease/firefox would be substituted even in core by palemoon ... ;)
(It's what i did, individually; after havin tried for a while both in
parallel).

Thanks in any case for your effort & cheers!
