The version of galeon needs moz 1.4.2. There are two options for you:
a) don't upgrade mozilla -- not my choice, because I like the features
in Moz 1.7.3 and use it for all my browsing, calendaring, email, and irc
stuff. If you comment out the SeaMonkey section in my posted yum.conf
then you will have the same 1.4.2 of moz but you can still use galeon.
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.
b) do a yum remove galeon and then go ahead with yum update mozilla
getting mozilla in all its 1.7.3 goodness <grin>. You'll lose galeon,
but if you need it back, then I *think* that Dag Wieers has an rpm for
galeon that is compatible with moz 1.7.3.
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!
