You are a late bird - you need your beauty sleep! This is what I have done so far wget -c http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/1.1.1/seamonkey-1.1.1.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.gz tar zxvf seamonkey-1.1.1.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.gz cd seamonkey-installer gksudo ./seamonkey-installer <<<<- This is where it doesn't like it sudo mv /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins.bak sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins sudo ln -s /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey /usr/bin/seamonkey All the above is a direct copy from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeaMonkey I think I understand your above comments but why does it install under WINDOWS VISTA? These are the error messages [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gksudo ./seamonkey-installer X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169 Major opcode: 145 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device What more can I tell you?
