Make that "install the 64bit version *then* delete > the 32bit version". Actually, you can do as I do & just rename the seamonkey folder to 'seamonkey32' & then extract the 64bit bz2. That will create a new seamonkey folder & you just run as you did the other. If it gives you problems, then name that folder to seamonkey64 and rename seamonkey32 to just plain seamonkey. Restart & you're back on the 32bit. > > NoOp, is the Linux "i686 on x64_86" version the equivalent of the > Windows "WOW64" version, i.e. 32bit version made to work on 64bit systems?? No. It's an actual 64bit version. ... _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
