My experience was with Mozilla 0.9.7, Galeon 1.0.2, kernel 2.4.17, Evolution
was 1.0.1.
I didn't install it into /opt/gnome, I did /usr/local/mozilla.

You see, one of the biggest problems of ALL free Unix-like systems (IMHO) is
outdated documentation:(((
Unfortunately my current crash-test-dummy:) namely P233/96MB is way too slow
to rebuild it again and document the process:(
Anyway, check the Karsten's site, his documentation is almost at the
bleeding edge.
