It's actually very easy to get and install the nightly builds into /usr/local. If you want to actually use mozilla as your day-to-day browser, newer builds are a lot less painful. While it's something of an ugly hack, I use the following shell script to download the most recent nightly when I feel like it. Of course, you'll have to change the URL to your local mirror. cheers, damon #!/bin/sh cd ~/downloads rm mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz.bak mv mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz.bak wget -t0 http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/mozilla/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz rm -rf /usr/local/mozilla tar xzvf mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz -C /usr/local ln -s /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/* /usr/local/mozilla/plugins ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.3/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/ ln -s /usr/lib/netscape/plugins-libc6/[npr]* /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/ -- Damon Muller :: Department of Criminology :: University of Melbourne Now this foreknowledge cannot be elicited from spirits; it cannot be obtained inductively from experience, nor by any deductive calculation.
