first use the steps in this thread
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72301
except I used the glibc's - 2.10 (Not the debian libc 2.11) from here and dbus and dbus glib

MOST Important
I installed Gcc 4.2.2.1 from here
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/
Finally download seamonkey and unzip to opt from here
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/#2.20
Run latest Seamonkey in Puppy 3.01 (portable)
How to get Modern flash working
Copy the plugins folder from seamonkey 1.12 folder to the mozilla folder eg. /usr/lib/mozilla then copy libflashplayer.so to this folder. Archived versions available here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/ ... sions.html. Use pupzip to extract libflashplayer.so to this plugins folder.
Yes folks it is a rough method but it works.

Updating of modern Seamonkey in 3.01
Updating must be done manually by downloading new version from seamonkey site as seamonkey's updater requires newer version of GTK.
Gtk cannot be updated as this will break jwm so please don't attempt this.
Have fun

Is it the newer Flash that causes problems and requires all this patching? I've updated Seamonkey several times in Lucid and once in Precise, just by downloading Mozilla's generic Linux version, installing it, and pointing /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser to it. I'm using 2.15 on Lucid and (IIRC) 2.17 on Precise, with no problems, other than the bloated size of the binaries.
I don't think I've updated Flash, though. Lucid is at 10.2 r153, which mostly works for me.

@darry1966:
In 3.01, I put all the plugins in /usr/lib/seamonkey/plugins.
Then I make usr/lib/mozilla itself a symlink to /usr/lib/seamonkey/plugins.
This reduces bloat, since the symlink is 0 bytes...

Thankyou Dewbie I appreciate of refinement to my methods - sounds way more efficent.Dewbie wrote:@darry1966:
