how to setup seamonkey on new computer ?


Ron, it is the normal practise, here, to ask your question with-in the
message ... not just as the Subject: of your post, so I've copied your
subject into your message.

To solve your problem, have a look at...

http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/install-and-uninstall

and then copy your old profile over the top of your new profile.

HTH

Very interesting!!!! I'll be glad to use SeaMonkey with a profile that
I've built over the two last years on a laptop. How could I use that
profile on a new desktop. Laptop and desktop are running under Windows 7.
I did that 9 years ago with MozBackup but I don't remember how to do
it!! Any suggestions???? I have a portable hard disk also that I use to
transfer files from one computer to the another, but to manage this with
an old Profile seems a bit difficult!!! I did it years ago and I don't
remember today how to do it. Thanks in advance for any advice
Best Regards

Easy, even moved profiles form Windows to Linux. In old system go to if Windows:

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles

Profile folder will be [SALT].default where [SALT] is random 8 characters. Note the name and copy to a thumbdrive is an easy way to transfer. For this example I will call it: *original.default*

On new system go to

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles

There may be a default profile there already when you installed SeaMonkey I will call it for this example: *blank.default*

Now copy your *original.default* to this folder

Move up to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey and edit profile.ini and point to your moved profile

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
; comment out the blank profile
;Path=Profiles/blank.default
; add line to your moved original
Path=Profiles/original.default

Save and start SeaMonkey and enjoy.

Take care,
