This what you're looking for? The instructions for unpacking the
tarball don't work. You have to gunzip it first, then tar -xvh. But
there's no ./mozilla file.
I clicked on the mozilla-installer(1.6k) file it left in my dir. That
started up the install thingee. I jumped through a few more hoops and
waited...and it timed out! One more time...ditto. Only thing I can
think of is before you click on the last install button it wants to
know your proxy settings. I don't have any that I'm aware of so I left
that part out. Hope this helps; if you have better success, let me
know.
