There are -l10n versions of all of them that usually build if the non-l10n version builds. anyway, in general, Seamonkey builds on DragonFly, it just happened to be in a bad state for Q2. You can always switch to the trunk branch. thanks for the info i will try different things to make it work, if not, then i will settle on a firefox.:-)

After the first reboot, following an install, it would get stuck on the BIOS screen. i had to do. turn off the system, remove the hd, connect it on an another system and install another os, erasing dragonfly. reconnect the hd back to the laptop then the laptop would boot fine. unfortunately, i never found the solution, the hd pins were beginning to bend from removing the hd alot trying to find a workaround.

At the end of that, we will have a brand, new, shiny pkgsrc branch, with updated packages for everyone to use and enjoy. Pkgsrc has a branch every 3 months, and this is our way of staying current with newer versions of packages. yay! will be having fun with pkg-rolling_replace once again. cant wait
