    Hi List!

    You can easily get a most recent Mozilla on Woody by downloading the
    tarball:

    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.6b/src/mozilla-source-1.6b.tar.bz2

    putting this in your sources.list:

    deb
    http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody/
    gnome2.2/

    and then apt-get install libxft2 libxft-dev libidl0 libidl-dev

    rename /usr/bin/libIDL-config2 -> libIDL-config.

    Then in the mozilla dir add ./mozconfig like this:

                ac_add_options --enable-default-mozilla-five-home=/opt/mozilla
                ac_add_options --with-x
                mk_add_options MOZ_CVS_FLAGS="-q -z 9"
                ac_add_options --enable-crypto
                ac_add_options --enable-xft
                ac_add_options --enable-gtk
                ac_add_options --disable-jsd
                ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
                ac_add_options --disable-tests
                ac_add_options --disable-debug
                ac_add_options --enable-optimize=-O3
                ac_add_options --disable-dtd-debug
                ac_add_options --disable-logging
                ac_add_options --enable-reorder
                ac_add_options --enable-strip
                ac_add_options --enable-elf-dynstr-gc
                ac_add_options --enable-cpp-rtti
                ac_add_options --enable-extensions=all
                ac_add_options --disable-svg
            
    Change splash.xpm to something you like in /mozilla/xpfe/bootstrap

    Then run ./configure in /mozilla
    and run make.

    Takes 3 hours and in /mozilla/dist/bin/ is mozilla.

    Put it away someplace like:

    cp -r -L /mozilla/dist/bin/* /usr/local/moz1.6b

    Change /usr/local/moz1.6b/defaults/pref/unix.js
    to point to where your ttf fonts are.
    Add your plugins in /usr/local/moz1.6b/plugins

    Caveat: *you need gcc/g++-3.0*
