amigo wrote:"club the libraries/components/plugins from Firefox/Thunderbird/Seamonkey together" I tried doing this a couple of years ago, but it is really a wasted effort. The fact that you can't do this is the best good reason for simply having seamonkey as the default. The whole suite installs only slightly larger than any one of its' components. In other words, installing firefox, thunderbird and nvu, for example will cost three times as much space as installing seamonkey. While what you suggest is possible to small degree, it would take a very long time and a good deal of mozilla expertise to perfect such an installation.
Hi amigo, yes by some degree your right if you use Thunderbird and nvu, But lets not forget the difference between your 2 choices, they are light-years ahead of Seamonkeys suite, Thats like comparing siag office and openoffice and saying they are equal. A true comparison would be mozilla suite at 10.5MB pet, well the last suite barry did was 10mb and that is 3 updates behind and then he did the beta2 and thats at 11mb so I went half way:) If you install it with the default installer its 14mb for the latest series 1.14
Seamonkey Suite->>10.5MB give or take
Firefox 3.0.5 >> 8.5MB <-- I just compiled it that small
+Xinha plugin wysiwyg 325kb
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1449
+Simple Mail 199kb
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5593
total 9.024MB
a savings of 1.476MB or 1.5MB not bad
And that suite is just as good as the Seamonkey Suite and looks way better to the eye.
But lets not forget the issues at hand, there is a reason why Seamonkey hasn't been updated, Its not playing nice with puppy, I've been trying to compile it for days now, even Firefox has issues, but less issues than Seamonkey, I would ask you to lend a hand but your probably using Series 3.0 or a different Slackware model?
I haven't given up on Seamonkey, I spent around 6hrs today trying to get it to work, even with Barry's last configs for it.
