Hi,

Here is a script you can use to automate the nightly build on linux from your
root account:

http://freefall.homeip.net/stuff/moznightly/

You may wish to change some of the variables.  At the moment it will
store all temporary data in your (root's) home directory, install to
/usr/local/mozilla_nightly, link /usr/local/mozilla to that directory,
and copy any of your plugins from /usr/local/moz_plugins_master/ to the
nightly build directory.

If you prefer the by hand method, you would (after download):
1. tar -zxvf name_of_mozilla_file.tar.gz
2. cd /path/to/where/it/untarred/to (probably ./mozilla-installer/)
3. ./mozilla-installer
4. follow the directions
