I haven't used Intrepid since it's alpha-3 state but I'm rather curious about this whole subjet.

Let just stick with the user's experience for a moment, under a live desktop session.
If my memory is correct, are probably the steps to follow:

- Puts CD
- Selects the system & keyboard languages, able to custom a few settings if needed
- System boots and you can see that little Firefox icon in the gnome-panel
(Let's not ignore that firefox is not a dependency of ubuntu-desktop, but rather a recomendation)
- If I click that icon, from what I read in this bug report to some sort of license compliance dialog.

Now, let's assume that categorically assert to deny compliance to that license.
* What options to I have after that?
* Are there other browsers (other than w3m) tagging along?
I'm asking these questions to cover hypothetical situations where people need a browser but do not have access to internet.
*Will it be abrowser package be shipped in Intrepid?
* Exactly how much depended is Ubuntu from Firefox, as there seems to be a effort of development around plug-ins and service (e.g. Launchpad) integration for Firefox.

Thank you.
