Hello, Is seamonkey available either as a source distribution (*.tar.gz) or a binary that will build or run on freeBSD 4.11? Since this address is "gnome@FreeBSD.org" is that an indication that one must run gnome in order to use seamonkey? I use a simple window manager (fvwm2 -- would be using fvwm but it went away when I updated to 4.11) or so it appeared in the post- install menus. Only found the original in the ports collection after I'd gone to the trouble of redoing my configuration file. I'm afraid that I don't like the elaborate (and accordingly *large*) "environments" like gnome and kde. So, is it possible to run seamonkey on freeBSD 4.11 (XF86 4.4.0)? If not, can you suggest a good browser. I have opera which is mostly OK and I have a version of mozilla which seems to work on those sites where opera doesn't. The trouble with mozilla is that I haven't figured out how to convince it to accept ^H (i.e. control-H) as a synonym for the backspace key and a few similar control-key alternatives that don't require that I either have six-inch fingers or leave the home keys to delete a character and such. I don't know how many times I've had to close that bloody history windoe because my fingers have learnt in a quarter century of using Unix that ^H *should* work as the character-erase character. So -- what say ye? Charlie
