 The date in that command is in the European format, so tweak that to suit yourself. [[BR]][[BR]]
 To run the finished build it's just like the tarballs you can download from Mozilla. Untar it somewhere suitable and run the {firefox,thunderbird} script in the folder. [[BR]]
-I find it convenient to run them in my home folder, it saves having to login as root and it means that nothing I do here can screw up my carefully crafted BLFS system. It is possible to run (as root) '''make install''' instead of '''make -C thunderbuild/xpinstall/packager''' but I wouldn't recommend it, unless you've thoroughly road tested the build first. If you do install it system side, but later change your mind and want to delete it again, these commands will remove Firefox

For one thing, you can't build Yelp (Gnomes help browser) linked against a current cvs Firefox build because it no longer installs libgtkembedmoz.so.
