http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/seamonkey-2.1-i686.pet
.

When I click on above url it downloads new seamonkey approx 19mb That is what it should do

If go to http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-lucid/ it shows only 1.2 mb.

I went to http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-lucid/ just now and it showed 19.5 MB and downloaded successfully. Is it possible you need to refresh the ibiblio page. Perhaps you checked while it was still uploading. Otherwise I am not sure.

Ah, great minds working together have figured this one out. It is the seamonkey with a small s that is the good one--ibiblio lists capital letters first and then small letters. Why did I change it? That's a good question. I will delete the bad one. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I didn't delete it. I fixed it--so both large S Seakonkey and small s seamonkey are the same seamonkey 2.1.

G'day,
Been adding this new Seamonkey to the many Pups on my computer. Every Pup has Seamonkey which is run using symlinks from the expanded .pet on a mounted-at-boot data partition.

So far 2.1 runs well, but going Puppily backwards, I see some missing dependencies/libs in 4.21. But that's not my question for today.

I run all 2.x Seamonkeys from a common profile on my data partition that began in 2.01b and is still mostly OK with 2.1. I delete any default profile from the /.mozilla/seamonkey directory and edit the .ini file to use my master profile on the data partition.

However my master profile's bookmarks.html file is not being used by 2.1.

The Seamonkey-2.1 Release Notes mention changing the Bookmarks to whatever Firefox is doing, but without saying anything more.

I've had a look in Preferences and in the .mozilla directory but I can't find where Seamonkey-2.1 is getting its Bookmarks file, so I can't set up a link to keep the bookmarks updated for whichever Pup I feel like using on any particular day.

So, where is Seamonkey-2.1 hiding its bookmarks file?

Thanks for your time,

David S.

Since version 3, Firefox no longer uses bookmarks.html, but an sqlite database, instead, to store its bookmarks. Seamonkey probably is doing the same with v2.1, though I didn't spend much time using it (I reverted to SM 2.0.14... 2.1, like FF 3 and 4, don't run all that well on this old hardware, unfortunately. Sad

), so I didn't really take a look at the way 2.1 stores its bookmarks.

I don't remember what filenames FF uses for the bookmarks, or whether or not you can swap around the bookmarks database between profiles as you could the bookmarks.html file (or even whether or not FF's bookmarks database is compatible with Seamonkey 2.1's!).

You can, however, still export bookmarks from either FF 3/4/5 or Seamonkey 2.1 as an HTML file, or back the bookmarks up as a .json file.

...or just have Seamonkey 2.1 update itself. Smile
