Re: Mozilla 1.2.1 for normal users

[Pat Suwalski <pat suwalski net>]

I notice this thread's been going on and on and on.

Frankly, I've been ignoring it.

Is there something wrong with just downloading the source from 
mozilla.org and compiling it? It's not hard to do. On that note, there's 
not much of an advantage of compiling the source yourself over using 
provided binaries.

If you're running Gentoo, you can just emerge it and it will go just 
like Garnome.
