>Once you have your patches applied, config files modified, and options set, simply build Mozilla with <EM

CLASS="command"
>./gmake</B
> in the root directory of your source tree, and then create your tarball by typing <B
CLASS="command"
>gmake</B
> in the <TT
CLASS="filename"
>xpinstall/packager</TT
> directory. This will drop the tarball in the dist subdirectory just beneath the root directory of your Mozilla source tree. Just move that package to <TT
CLASS="filename"
>/usr/local</TT
>, unpack it, run it once from the command-line as the user who built the package (the command is <B
CLASS="command"
>/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla</B
>), and you are nearly ready to browse.
