Use the 1.6 rpms from the Mozilla SeaMonkey repository. <for /etc/yum.conf> [mozilla-seamonkey] name=Mozilla SeaMonkey Release baseurl=http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/yum/SeaMonkey/releases/current/redhat/1 If this is where you got the package, then I can only suggest waiting for the Fedora-development version in about a week or so. -- Gregory G.
