I had Mozilla running under Linux about two years ago and have sent all
the necessary patches to the maintainers at that time.  It was not
terribly stable, though.  Resizing the window crashed Mozilla but aside
of that it was running just fine.  I gave up tracking the problem since
my Indy by far didn't have enough memory to deal with GDB + Emacs as
GDB frontend + Mozilla.  I guess you need 192mb or more to debug that
resize crash ...  As for text browsers I've built Lynx which was running
just out of the box.  There is a few more text browsers like w3m or Links,
haven't yet tried those under Linux.

I have Lynx, amaya and kfm running on a DECstation (R3000 little endian).
Take a look at ftp://bolug.uni-bonn.de/mips/ for RPM-Packages.

BTW, I have uploaded several new packages there, including a complete KDE 
1.1.2 for mipsel. Well, it's a bit slow on a 25MHz-R3K machine, but it
works and kfm is not that bad as a graphical web browser, if you have
enough memory.

HTH,
Karsten
