My immediate goal is just to get some minimal
linux stuff going on my pc and learn what I can
about the system. Also, I want to go online
from linux, and that text-based "links" browser
leaves much to be desired.

I might try Slax if i can't get zipslack to do
the things i want it to.

I eventually downloaded three packages that
firefox wanted, only to have it declare a
segmentation fault when it finally started.

(firefox-bin:1320): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get():
length value has wrapped in calculation
(did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/run-mozilla.sh: line 159:
1320 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Running ldd on firefox-bin produced a list of about
40 libraries, most of which i had already dnlded, and
about 10 I don't have yet. But (correct me if im wrong)
the error sounds like some kind of incompatibility...

A quick search of googlegroups turned up loads of
people cursing firefox, and I think I'll be
trying out some others. Any you recommend?

p.s. that ldd thing was a good tip, and
one i hadn't seen in any of the online
howto's
