Beautiful, Doug. You can consider it tested, although we changed it to
download to his home directory (cd /home/eric/Mozilla-nightlies) and changed
the filename (mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz). We also set it up in his
crontab file to run every night at 1:00 am. He's re-installing the Sept 5
nightly now so when he gets up, he can determine whether the cron job worked.
(I might just have to set one up for me, too...).
BTW, he's bookmarked linux.nf and he may be joining the list.
Thanks,
Tim
