I just tried 0.9.6 and it acted like 0.9.7: you get to the "install" page and, after waiting about 30 secs for the progress bar to start filling up, pfft! the thing just disappears. Has anybody got 0.9.6,7 to work at all? And why does the README file bear so little resemblance to what actually happens: there's no ./mozilla file, no "package" dir, no need to use mv or mkdir, unless that's all supposed to be general Unix stuff, or I'm missing something, or...
