Why not to SM2.1 final, and then update through to SM2.8 or the soon to be released SM2.9?? I tried to use Slackware for a while in the mid 90's and seem to remember that updating software was . . . pretty fraught. Then again, configuring it to do what I wanted was pretty fraught as well so I checked out Red Hat and SuSE and then moved on. Going back to the point, Slackware 13.37 was released a year ago this week, my guess would be that it came with that level of Seamonkey. Yeah!! I wondered if the SM2.1b3 had come with a distribution, as well. And I know nothing bout Slackware, so, perhaps, I shouldn't have commented! -- Daniel ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
