I suspected (and hoped) that would be the answer. Thanks, here goes ;)
By choosing custom install I was able to install files in a
different directory. *HOWEVER* I was not given option to create a
new profile. I chose to create shortcut on the Desktop - it
created *THREE* - all start the browser and all show that the
program is to be launched in the old directory.
Umm... performing a fresh install to a different directory has nothing
to do with any previous installs with the exception that it will use the
common /mozilla/seamonkey folder& profile. That is why I stated 'use a
different user profile'. You could have done that (and still can) by
restarting with the profile manager (seamonkey -P) or renaming the
profile in the mozilla/seamonkey folder. Sorry, I figured that since
you'd been using the application since Netscape 4 that you would have
known :-(
<GRIN>
I could say "I've been compounding errors since Netscape days" or "I
know enough to be dangerous". :/
Seriously, I haven't done any tweaking for ~3 years and when updating
just accepted defaults, which meant inheriting all my old problems. So
this time it's a case of "I thought I remembered how to ...".
I've created a new profile and am following links about manual profile
migration. That should refresh my memory on critical issues and prompt
me to ask intelligent questions.
Thank you and now to start reading.
Success has been achieved on the question you answered. And the
reading reminded me how I got into the position I was. I've more
questions, but they belong in another thread &/or sub-thread.
Thanks again.
