I suppose that iceweasel -P uniqueprofilename would do what you want? Also, it's *much* faster use vnc (tunnel through ssh): on the remote host, start: vnc4server on your localhost, start (and login to) ssh -L 5900:server:5901 server and then on the localhost (different window) vncviewer localhost:5900 The 5901 portnumer is assuming the vncserver opens a X11 screen on :1. When I start epiphany diretly over X11, it takes about 30 min to show a page; when I do it using VNC as above, it takes seconds. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
