Now testing Luci 5.2.8 installed on an SD card, running on an MSI U135 Wind netbook - seems great, posting with it and with SeaMonkey 2.3 in Italian.
This has been my reaction to the quest for an updated Seamonkey .PET: being curious by nature and seeing that the available .PET versions are soon outdated, for about one year now I've been able to always use the most recent (and *localized*!) version of SeaMonkey by getting the plain-vanilla "seamonkey-XY.tar.bz2" straight from the project site, and unpacking it somewhere in a separate folder.Please provide pet for new seamonkey 2.3
This isn't the orthodox Puppy way, it breaks some rules, it takes up some more disk space, may run into dependency trouble etc.; and anyway, knowing I'm chronically prone to improper tinkering, I'm not recommending it, no responsibility etc. etc. But... up to now it worked nicely, and can be undone in a jiffy if there are problems. What's more, to me it just exploits Puppy's versatility in full.
The new version can be tested to one's satisfaction starting it with a click on the "seamonkey" script in the extracted folder. Then, if and when all seems to work fine, the last line in /usr/bin/defaultbrowser:
exec quickpet BI "$@"
can be simply commented out, and followed by a line with something like
/mnt/home/seamonkey/seamonkey
i.e., where the starting script resides, making everything work normally (the browser starts with a click on the "browse" icon).
Presently my HD has the three last versions of SeaMonkey available (2.1, 2.2 and 2.3): a simple renaming of the corresponding folders switches to a different version, and since the browser's preferences are stored in /root/.mozilla, they keep valid for any version.
BTW, speaking of browsers, let me also suggest QtWeb, a cute little browser with much of Puppy's spirit:

Even the Windows version under Wine starts faster than SeaMonkey or Firefox.
