If you're disappointed with the speed of recent Seamonkeys, you may wish to try
debian's Iceape. Same functions: mail, news, browser, chat, html editor; sqlite editor as
an add-on if you want.
Except it loads in 4 seconds instead of 10. Is it just me, just on this computer?
Feedback welcome.
I don't know if Iceape versions follow Seamonkey's closely or not. This is Iceape 2.7.12
whereas the latest Seamonkey is version 2.23. This Iceape bears a date of August 2013,
though, so it can't be that old.
Also, this a Debian "jessie" (experimental Debian) build, more advanced than "wheezy",
but less risky than "sid". From a Debian point of view, this archive is pretty much current,
even a bit in the future.
In any case, as I said, this Iceape has the same functions as Seamonkey, and the
launching speed is just great, even faster than opera 12.16.
Packaged into a pet from a deb archive located at:
http://packages.debian.org/fr/jessie/i3 ... e/download
on upupRaring 3.992. YMMV on your own Puppy, of course. Again: feedback welcome.
Iceape 2.7.12 for Puppy can be downloaded from: http://limelinx.com/ftk2u
How-to:
- Install the iceape pet.
- Erase the /usr/lib/seamonkey directorieS (note the plural) or move them to an inactive
back-up folder.
- Change the command inside the /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser file (or "remark" the
existing one with a #) to
Code: Select all
iceape "$@"
- I've already adapted the *.desktop files for Puppy categories, so Iceape should
integrate ok in your menu. Please note that Iceape comes with an extra desktop file for
composing e-mails, whereas Seamonkey does not have such a launcher.
- Remove the seamonkey *.desktop files from the /usr/share/applications folder.
Let us know your experience with Iceape? BFN.

Edit: Do not erase of modify your /root/.mozilla folder. If it is already populated, Iceape
will pick up and / or adapt to what's in it. Your old Seamonkey plug-ins, configurations,
etc., will be used in the newly installed Iceape.
