upgrading - finally!
OK, I know I will be getting some (lot) flak about not doing this sooner but the situation has changed and I can mow move forward. Here is my situation, I am now using SM 1.1.18 and will be upgrading to the latest greatest level. I am pretty sure that this cannot be done in one step, so my question is what is the best sequence to get the desired results for a somewhat novice person. What downloads are needed to get where I need or should be. Any suggestions or thoughts are appreciated. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Would one further down the release cycle be a better starting point? I know I both held off and jumped through a few upgrade installs to get onto the 2.x train...was painful, but it did get me there. -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

If you skipped it, that was your whole problem. Just like it says GW What I did was end up installing just about every release form 2.0 through 2.something in succession. But the reason I did it that way was because of the migrations issues I'd read about here. I had thought though that all of those fixes had been rolled into some later release and now one could go directly from 1.1.x to 2.2x.x without any trouble? Other than maybe finding some add-ons incompatible? I seem to recall not checking add-ons compatibility after installation was one of the aforementioned issues... -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
