Can anyone tell me how seemless the Mozilla Suite to Seamonkey
transition is (in FC5 if that makes a difference). I have been using
Mozilla Suite for years now, but the crashes are becoming annoying. I
have numerous bookmarks, history, email, and a theme that I want from
the suite. Is it jsut as simple as yum install seamonkey?

Seamonkey keeps the same profiles for mail, bookmarks as does mozilla. Both programs can be installed at the same time. You cannot run both at the same time though.

You need to keep mozilla around for programs like yelp and openoffice mailing features. Seamonkey hould work for everything else that I use anyway.

And what of the mplayer-plugin (which currently serves as my embedded
media player)

I'm not sure about the embedded elements working. If it does not work for seamonkey, you still have mozilla installed. You could close seamonkey and then launch mozilla for those features.

Thank you.

I even removed the mozilla binary from /usr/bin/ and linked /usr/bin/seamonkey to it. Everything works now just as if I were running mozilla 1.8 (which is what seamonkey really is;check the about:)

I'm getting SeaMonkey 1.0.2

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060607
Fedora/1.0.2-1.fc6 SeaMonkey/1.0.2


THe only problem that I encountered with seamonkey vs. mozilla was
trying to install the stand-alone calendar mozilla had for a version. I
never use it. I just installed the calendar to see what it could do.

Mozilla 1.7.13
