   $ cd ~/Safari2
4. Extract the Safari 2 archive.
   $ tar xzvf "/Library/Application Support/Apple/.SafariBetaArchive.tar.gz"
5. Create a shell script (in ~/bin/Safari2) to launch Safari 2.

#!/bin/sh
export DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=$HOME/Safari2/System/Library/Frameworks:$HOME/Safari2/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Frameworks
export WEBKIT_UNSET_DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=YES
exec $HOME/Safari2/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
