I do use seamonkey, so why would I want to build FF or TB? (Actually I do build them for the book's purposes). The only reason I can see to build Xulrunner is to save a little time if building both FF and TB, but that runs into issues if trying to upgrade one and not the other. > As soon as Xulrunner finishes cooking and I get a Firefox build up and > running, I'm going to try the Thunderbird thing.

There are multiple ways to accomplish a task in a lot of cases. Whether a new method provides enough additional benefits needs to be evaluated against both the utility and the maintenance effort. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
