195634 - Release Notes (1.2a ~ 1.4) has Linux install instruction in wrong case (mozilla, not Mozilla)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[James G. Stroud]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

In the http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.3b/ instructions for installing
Mozilla 1.3b on Linux the instructions mention:

(This places the installer in a subdirectory of Mozilla named Mozilla-installer.)
# Change to the Mozilla-installer directory (cd Mozilla-installer) and run the
installer with the ./Mozilla-installer command.

In all cases above "Mozilla-installer" should be "mozilla-installer".  Linux is
case sensitive and this documentation inaccuracy will cause problems to Linux
newbies

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read the "http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.3b/" URL and follow the
Linux install instructions

Actual Results:  
you can't change to the "Mozilla-installer" directory or run the
"Mozilla-installer" command because it shouold be lower case "m" in the
instructions on Linux

James Stroud:

In the 1.4a relnotes, I see this:
"6. To start Mozilla , change to the directory where you installed it and run 
the ./Mozilla command."

Should that be "./mozilla" as well?

Comment 5

[James G. Stroud]

Yes, ./Mozilla should be ./mozilla

I will install mozilla 1.4a on my linux box (after I finish rebuilding it with 
red hat 9) and document all references where Mozilla should be changed to 
mozilla

if you have questions call me a 703 742 9309

Awesome! That would be _wonderful_. 

If you can tell me where the instructions are horked, I will fix it in the 
relnotes (1.0 up to the current)

Here are the places that need fixing, these fixes apply to mozilla 1.2, 1.3, 
and 1.4.  I assume it would apply for 1.0 and 1.1 as well:
at this URL 
http://mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.4a/
Under Installing Linux

Step 2 has "Click the link to download the installer file (called Mozilla-i686-
pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz)."

Change this to "Click the link to download the installer file (called mozilla-
i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz)."   
Lower case m for mozilla-i686-.....

Then in step 3 it says
"(This places the installer in a subdirectory of Mozilla named Mozilla-
installer.)"

Change this to 
"(This places the installer in a subdirectory of Mozilla named mozilla-
installer.)"
again lower case m for mozilla-installer

Then in step 4 it says
"Change to the Mozilla-installer directory (cd Mozilla-installer) and run the 
installer with the ./Mozilla-installer command."

change this to

"Change to the mozilla-installer directory (cd mozilla-installer) and run the 
installer with the ./mozilla-installer command."
there are three changes here from M to m

then in step 6 it says
"To start Mozilla , change to the directory where you installed it and run 
the ./Mozilla command."

change this to

"To start Mozilla , change to the directory where you installed it and run 
the ./mozilla command."
again one change to lowe case m for the ./mozilla


This should do it - James
