My immediate problem is my preferred browser is Mozilla - er - Seamonkey. I
couldn't find it with yum, nor with Google, nor can I see that anyone's asked
about it for SL5.
Does anyone have it? or should I just build it myself? Might have a src.rpm
around here someplace....
I had the same problem and I actually asked about seamonkey for SL5 on
this list before you did, John.
I recommend building this src rpm from releases.mozilla.org:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.1.2/contrib/FC_RPMS/source/seamonkey-1.1.2-1.src.rpm
Hmm. A mere 34 mbytes. Okay, I pull bigger things through my modem. Thanks Paul.

I am not exactly sure what is causing the rpm scriplets to fail in your
case, but I recommend first completely uninstalling (using rpm -e) all
the old seamonkey packages before installing the new ones.
There are some important differences between the way seamonkey is
packaged in RHEL4 and in the rpms available from releases.mozilla.org.
For instance, in RHEL4 seamonkey is split into 10 packages:
seamonkey
seamonkey-chat
seamonkey-devel
seamonkey-dom-inspector
seamonkey-js-debugger
seamonkey-mail
seamonkey-nspr
seamonkey-nspr-devel
seamonkey-nss
seamonkey-nss-devel
The src rpm from releases.mozilla.org builds into only 5 binary packages:
seamonkey
seamonkey-chat
seamonkey-dom-inspector
seamonkey-js-debugger
seamonkey-mail
Thus if you use "rpm -U" or "rpm -F" to upgrade, you will not get rid of
all the old RHEL4 packages if you do not uninstall them first.
