I wish clarification of instructions at

The first paragraph states:
Note: There is no installer available, but just extracting the tar.bz2

The instructions then say to do
  mkdir seamonkey2
  cd seamonkey2

Question:
Is the intent to place the files in /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey2 ?
My intention is for all users to:
 1. access the same executable.
 2. have profiles and profile.ini under their own home directory.


The intent is to place the files in /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey2.

I would just use /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey

That should would for all users to access the same executable.
Each users profile and profile.ini would be in the hidden .mozilla
folder in their own home directory.


Being past 3 score and 10, I ask first :/



Make sure you use the -p switch for the executable.



I assume that's the same as when I was under WinXP.



Secondary Question:
How do I replace the links to Firefox/Iceweasel in the
Applications->Internet sub-menu with SeaMonkey?


No idea.


Acknowledged ;)








Along with my previous post. Each user will have their own user account
on the target laptop?



Yes. And thanks for the link.

Will respond tomorrow to your previous post when I am functionally 
awake.  ;/





Then all you need to do is create a launcher and the profile will be 
created upon the users first launch of SeaMonkey.


I don't think you will need to use the -p switch.

If you want each user to have and use a different profile. I'm not sure 
it prevents them from using another and messing it up.


You can create shortcuts for each users profile.

I found it much easier to just use the ubuntuzilla ppa



in installs seamonkey to /opt/seamonkey with execuable in
/usr/bin/seamonkey


My intention is for all users to:
 1. access the same executable.

Does that automatically. Each user gets settings in ~/.mozilla/seamonkey/

I use Ubuntu with Unity which seamonkey.desktop in
~/.local/share/applications/

For editing old style menus was alacarte. Whatever menu editor MATE uses
I don't know.



Thank you for trying ;}
Ubuntu and Debian *ARE* close relatives.
HOWEVER, as they say, "the devils be in the details" ;/

Debian specific feedback please?
TIA
