CR-48 Mad Scientist Experiment

Now that I have jailbroken the CR-48, I downloaded Firefox for Linux, copied the .bz file to a new mozilla folder I created off my home directory, unpackaged it using tar, and attempted to run it.

The firefox launch script requires the Bourne shell, but I haven't been successful in getting it to launch yet, even after chown, chmod and sudo su.  I suspect that there are missing libraries, but I have been too lazy to investigate yet.

I know I don't need Firefox.  Chrome is my favorite browser.  However I think it would be neat if I can get this to work.  As a developer, you might need a tool only available in some other browser.

Anyway, I was also able to learn about my home directory, the file structure of the special chromeos user, where the downloads go, etc.
