I have not installed 1.5 yet because of a dependency issue with Epiphany 
which needs Mozilla 1.4.1. But if you wanted to try installing it via 
yum, you could add the following to your yum.conf (thanks to some 
#fedora folks on irc who told me about this!):

#[mozilla-seamonkey]
name=Mozilla SeaMonkey Release
baseurl=http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/yum/SeaMonkey/releases/current/redhat/0.95

then simply do "yum update mozilla" as root.

I have done that part, but backed out when yum told me of the dependency 
issue, since I have a couple of family members who prefer Epiphany's 
simplicity and UI.
