|
|---|
| 5 | sibling of <application>Netscape</application>. It includes the browser,
|

| 6 | composer, mail client, a calendar client and an <acronym>IRC</acronym> client.</para>

| 8 | <para>The Mozilla project also hosts two subprojects that aim to cater to the needs
|
|---|
| 9 | of users who don't need the complete browser suite or like to have seperate applications
|
|---|
| 10 | for browsing and e-mail. These subprojects are
|
|---|
| 11 | <ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/">Mozilla Firebird</ulink>,
|
|---|
| 12 | (a stand-alone browser based on the Mozilla source code) and
|
|---|
| 13 | <ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/">Mozilla Thunderbird</ulink>,
|
|---|
| 14 | (a stand-alone mail client based on the Mozilla source code). The build instructions
|
|---|
| 15 | for these two applications are discussed in this section instead of having a
|
|---|
| 16 | seperate section since the build instructions are very similar to those for
|
|---|
| 17 | <application>Mozilla</application>. In addition, because of the similarity,
|
|---|
| 18 | only the changes required with respect to
|
|---|
| 19 | the <application>Mozilla</application> instructions are mentioned.</para>
