Well, it is the 3rd time I am trying to use the installer and all three times the installer gets stuck after downloading the following files into the /tmp/.tmp.xi.0 directory: -rw-r--r-- 1 avi users 5873465 Aug 15 23:20 browser.xpi -rw-r--r-- 1 avi users 858863 Aug 15 23:00 xpcom.xpi I assume this is not how it is supposed to work ;-) Any ideas?

I have foud that, using the mozilla-installer it is very easy to download and install the nightly builds of Mozilla. Here's what I do:
1 Using your favorite browser, browse on over to http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/
2 fetch http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-...
3 find a good place to untar this little tarball, and untar it ( tar xvfz mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz )
4 cd mozilla-installer
5 vi config.ini and change Default Location=/data/nightly to suit your taste
6 run ./mozilla-installer
7 select the type of installation you want.
8 hit the "go" button
9 Have fun browsing the net with LRGIBLE fonts
10 REPORT BUGS!
I often like to discuss problems with others before I post a bug. There's lots of news groups at news.mozilla.org. Remember, you will be using completely untested builds, so expect some bumps. I am very happy with the latest builds. A few features are missing, but they'll come back.
Macht spass,
steve
