I build my own. It can be installed entirely, including browser and |
| 11 |
libraries in /usr/local/palemoon or /opt/palemoon, or even in |
| 12 |
$HOME/palemoon. "Updates" consist of... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
rm -rf <location>/palemoon |
| 15 |
tar -C <location> -xvjf <tarball_name>.bz2 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
# If <location> is /usr/local or /opt |
| 18 |
ln -sf <location>/palemoon/palemoon /usr/bin/palemoon |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
# If <location> is in your home directory |
| 21 |
ln -sf <location>/palemoon/palemoon $HOME/bin/palemoon |

Ask on the linux sub-forum forum if you need help building it. One |
| 31 |
advantage of "roll-your-own" is being able to delete/disable stuff that |
| 32 |
is standard on the mainstream build. There are a whole slew of |
| 33 |
"--enable" and "--disable" options. |
