Depends on how you do things, the /usr/local stays with the machine, the home directory in some settings is likely to be be on a server, and get mounted (or whatever Windows calls it, shared?) on machines with various OS versions and CPUs. Not disagreeing, but my home directory isn't a good place for executables. :-( Kind of depends on privilege as well, if you are not an admin you have to put it where you have access, if you are only on one machine that works fine. -- Bill Davidsen david...@tmr.com We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked. - from Slashdot ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Add Joe's PPA: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:seamonkey2/seamonkey2 $ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Then open Synaptic, unintstall the existing Canonical version install Joe's seamonkey2. All of your data/profiles will remain intact, but of course it's always a good idea to backup your ~/.mozilla folder first, just in case. Or, use the standard version from http://www.seamonkey-project.org/. Just unpack run from a home folder. That version will pickup and use your existing ~/.mozilla/seamonkey profile w/o issue. Any idea if this will work in Puppy Linux Spup 040 (a Slackware derivative). The PPA won't as it's built specifically for Ubuntu/debian and installs into system folders. However, the standard http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ run from a home folder (~/seamonkey) should. Note: I use both (the PPA standard) on a daily basis across multiple systems (all Ubuntu/debian). ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
