Missing instructions

For those who went through the process (I just did, but there's no documentation):

wget http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/icecat-2.0.0.13-g1-i386.tar.bz

Now run run-icecat.sh to create a profile

exit icecat

cp -r ~/.mozilla/firefox/* ~/.gnuzilla/icecat/

done! Nice one.

Another howto

debian:/# cd /tmp
debian:/# wget http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/icecat-2.0.0.13-g1-i386.tar.bz2

debian:/# cd /opt
tar -jxvf /tmp/icecat*bz2

do NOT do this :)
debian:/# cd /opt/icecat*
debian:/# rm -R plugins
debian:/# ln -s /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins /opt/firefox

debian:/# ln -sf /opt/icecat*/icecat /usr/bin/icecat
debian:/# ln -sf /opt/icecat*/icecat /usr/bin/gnuzilla-icecat
debian:/# ln -sf /opt/icecat*/icecat /usr/bin/gnuzilla

Now, to create your profile:
debian:/# icecat --profileManager

exit icecat
wget http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/icecat.png

then:

cp /your/home/path/images/icecat/icecat.png /usr/share/pixmaps/
chown you:root -R /usr/share/pixmaps/icecat*
