User Feedback :: seamonkey? seamonkey....
Anyone know what the old mozilla suite (aka seamonkey now) needs to run on DSL besides gtk2 and if not much else, how to run it, since it's not one of the mydsl choices yet? (hopes) I like Firefox, nvu and Tbird but I would prefer one small app, since I have one small computer
How old and slow is that computer? You might want to try the new DSL-N Alpha because it already has the new Mozilla suite.
Well, I am on a dialup first off, second, it's a presario 1681, 233MHz, 3GB hard drive.
Since I am quite happy on my first full and connected day of using DSL 2, I would rather download the suite than download DSL again, which I was able to do at a friend's who had a high-speed connection in NY. Don't have access to that friend now.
Honestly,
with a low-spec machine like yours, I would stick to the resource-friendly apps currently present on your desktop.

The Mozilla suite is actually based on GTK1.2. And here is the weird part, it feels more responsive than Firefox.
It will run natively in DSL without any modifications. The only reason why it isn't in DSL proper is size -- 13.2M vs. 7M for Firefox.
Anyway, no extension needed, just go download it:
