Hy, I want to create a CD-ROM which includes Firefox 1.5.0.7 for MacOS X and is intended to be run solely on an intel-based Mac. It should already come with the XiphQT-plugin so that no installtion is needed. I want to be able to put the CD-ROM into the drive, double-click on "start-MacOS-Firefox.app" and have a fully operational Firefox with XiphQT-support - no matter if Firefox or XiphQT is already installed on the target system or not. This "start-*-Firefox" script start-up Firefox and a HTML file with embedded OGG Vorbis files both of which will also reside on the CD-ROM. Because VideoLAN does not yet come with a Firefox-plugin that supports intel Macs, my choice became XiphQT. Getting Firefox on a CD-ROM and starting-up the HTML file seems not to be the problem, I just wonder how I might get XiphQT in there. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this?

There's probably some nasty way to hack this, but really, for this to work you'd need to *install* XiphQT on the system's hard disk and then use an embedded QuickTime player inside your html. But that's not quite a live cd. What you *can* do is the use the cortado java player, served alongside the html from the cd. HTH, -r
