Seamonkey (and Mozilla/Netscape/Firefox) seem to have written so that the update ability is hard coded into them and is not an option. At least that's what the ebuild and USE flags tell me, and I'm way to lazy to investigate the Mozilla build system to get a definite answer. Besides, it's probably a horrific build system. And also besides, the update code portion probably isn't that big. What Enrico needs to do is download SeaMonkey and build it like normal, then deactivate the auto-update stuff in Preferences alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
I can't speak for Seamonkey, but for Firefox, at least the 3.0a version, there is an option to disable automatic checking for updates. Go into preferences, then advanced, then update. -- - Mark Shields
