Anyone out there have the url for a yum repository that will upgrade my mozilla (1.4) to the latest 1.6 version? Thanks
Better make sure that doesn't break any applications that depend on version 1.4.
If 1.4.1-18 is working, why switch to 1.6?

Add the following to /etc/yum.conf to allow yum to upgrade Moz to 1.6:
[mozilla-seamonkey] name=Mozilla SeaMonkey Releases baseurl=http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/yum/SeaMonkey/releases/1.6/redhat/1
Important Note: This will break epiphany and galeon, though you could search the archive for repo's for versions of them that are compatible with the upgraded Moz.
"Why switch to 1.6?"
1.6 has some at least one feature that didn't work for me in 1.4.1-18. For instance, the ability to mark the contents of a folder as read is very handy -- that feature never seemed to work with me in the default version that came with FC1. When you get as many emails from various lists as I do, that feature gets used a lot ;-) But it may have worked fine for everyone else out of the box. It just wasn't working for me, so I figured I'd try out the newer version. It did work for me. None of the customization items I had for the previous version got lost. My email was just fine. The upgrade was seamless for me via yum (with the exception of breaking epiphany and galeon, both of which are fine browsers).
...plus it's nice to have a newer version just to see what it's like!
