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.
Jay already gave you the link for upgrading from 1.x to 2.0.
Do that first then upgrade to SeaMonkey 2.23.
[SeaMonkey/FAQ -
MozillaWiki](https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/FAQ#Upgrading)
all of which is also explained on every version's Release Notes page
"System Requirements,
.....SeaMonkey 2.23 will no longer offer to migrate your data from
SeaMonkey 1.x or Mozilla 1.x at the first start after installation... In
order to upgrade from such an old version, install the last SeaMonkey
2.0 release first, do the one-time profile upgrade, uninstall SeaMonkey
2.0 and then install your target release (e.g. this one)."
which obviously people don't read
GW
Weren't there all sorts of migration issues with the 2.0 release? 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.
2.0 does migration for you. 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...
