Am new to MINT - WIN7 makes me want to go elsewhere - but I can's seem to download sea monkey 2.4 any easy way. I wish the files were more self-installing. any newbie help appreciated

If you open Synaptic Package Manager, and search for seamonkey, does it show up?

yes synaptic shows seamonkey 2.0.13 which is loaded and running BUT

everytime i open it - i get a notice WARNING you are using an old stable version update to the new version 2.4

I downloaded it synaptic does not see it - Maybe 2.4 is not ready for MINT?

being new to linux can be exasperating

How are you downloading it? Are you using the latest version of Mint? What version are you running?

I am using katya vs 11 - I did it 2-3 weeks ago

seamonkey 2.0.13 makes T bird crash so i removed it

was hoping 2.4 would not do that

rt now i have it saved and unzipped in my home folder - new folder seamonkey

I'm assuming 2.0.13 is the newest version in the repository. I wouldn't try to install what you downloaded. It's not a good idea to circumvent the package manager unless you know what you are doing. I'm sure it won't be long before a newer version of Seamonkey hits the repository.

Ok thanks i'll get by with FF and TB which work fine as long as seamonkey is disabled.

thanks much for the helpS!
