Netscape7 and Mozilla
I'm running FreeBSD 5.3 and I would like run both of these browsers but it looks like the preferences folder causes some problems since one is a native freebsd port and the other is a linux port. I'm talking about the folder it creates in your home directory called .mozilla. Is there a way of changing this folder to a different name? I went to preferences but I don't see anything for it! The only path I see is the path for the cache but that's not enough. There has to be a way of doing it! __ Converse com seus amigos em tempo real com o Yahoo!

Mozilla and netscape are different software, of course, though one is based on the other. I'm talking about the folder it creates in your home directory called .mozilla.

You could try looking in $PREFIX/lib/mozilla/mozilla. It's a Bourne
shell script. Look for the moz_pis_startstop_scripts function. It
looks like there's a way to put S* start scripts in ~/.mozilla/init.d
which get sourced (look for the . ${curr_pis}). You could override
the MOZ_PIS* env vars that get exported there to point to an alternate
.moz dir. That might get you what you want if the binary obeys those
vars (I haven't searched the source). I haven't tried it, but give it
a shot and report back on details and success or failure.
