Installing Minimo web browser
Minimo is Mozilla based web browser. It features full AJAX support and other goodies. Currently stock OpenMoko build doesn't include Minimo. Here are instructions how to run minimo in Xephyr PC environment and how to use other third party packages too.
Setup build environment
If you have build your OpenMoko using MokoMakefile some of these steps might not be familiar to you.
Assume your OpenMoko root is at ~/workspace/moko
First setup build environment variables:

In chroot'ed environment
Following instructions in Getting OpenMoko working on host with Xephyr to get yourself chroot'ed into OpenMoko environment.
Start Xephyr. You don't need to start OpenMoko session, minimo can run as is.
