IceCats ppa for gNS Hardy is no longer available!

Download simply the source code, from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/5.0/

trio of ./configure, make, make install, (see info files) and have fun
again...

- and privacy_ext¹ (I recommend)
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/5.0/privacy_ext.xpi
- and langpacks¹ if necessary
http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/langpacks/5.0/

¹After installation: Start icecat once - briefly - with admin
privileges. Done.

See http://www.gnu.org/software/icecat/ for more info.

If this procedure is successful, please send a short feedback. (You
might want to bring the wiki up to date?)
