Very odd -- the only SeaMonkey section I found, way at the bottom, is
already commented out. And I only copied & pasted, not trusting my
trifocal eyeballs, arthritic fingers, nor defective command of linux to
change anything at all in the file on your website.

I'll go look. I note that your sample has Dag's site, commented out, under
Alternate Repositories. Does that mean, if I install an rpm from him for
galeon (which may be what I have, for all I know; memory like a sieve
...), that I won't be able to do updates on it even if somebody finds a
security flaw?

I do my mail with pine, and usenet with Pan, and (blessed retirement!) no
calendaring at all, at all. So I want the leanest browser-only software I
can find. (I tried epiphany, and couldn't live with its dictatorial
bookmarking.) Even Firefox seems dead slow at present ....

Many thanks!
