Mozilla Problems on Debian-Alpha



Hello all,

First of all thanks to everyone who contributes to Debian Alpha. I still find 
it bewildering that there is so much support and help available for open 
source in general and have yet to work out how I can contribute something 
back to the community with my limited knowledge of things geeky.

I did a bog-standard install of Debian Woody on a dual processor, Digital 
Alpha 5305. At the installer prompt I declined to use the package selectors 
because I wanted a dist-upgrade to testing. After the dist-upgrade I set 
apt.conf to unstable and "apt-got" kde 3.1.

I ran apt-get install mozilla which worked fine, I set the sound wrapper to 
none in debconf, because I haven't installed a sound card. When I try to run 
Mozilla from the kde panel the little icon does it's flicker stuff and then 
disappears without Moz loading up. Normally when I run into an app that does 
this, I just run it from a terminal and work out what to do from the error 
messages that ensue. But Moz doesn't give me an error message even if run 
from the shell. It just doesn't load. So I don't really know what to do or 
what's gone wrong. Is there an error log I should check or does anybody know 
if there's something else I should've done? Any comments or help is much 
appreciated.

Kind regards,

Rob Thyssen
