Re: Mozilla/Netscape on MIPS

["Garrick Evans" <sginux@yahoo.com>]

really? while the browser display works, there are only 2 menus "Debug" and
"QA" and no text anywhere and none of the buttons work - in addition to
consuming about 100+ mb of RAM

anyway, i've been trying to build moz for a while now and it always crashes
out when it hits the content/build dir

thoughts?
