I use the base folder /home/<username>/seamonkey to keep the bz2's in (I typically have 3 or 4 versions). That way I don't clutter up the base home folder. Sample: $ ls ~/seamonkey seamonkey seamonkey-2.11.tar.bz2 seamonkey-2.12a1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 seamonkey-2.12a2.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 seamonkey2131 seamonkey-2.13.2.tar.bz2 It's simply a personal preference. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
