I'm curious about SeaMonkey (especially the HTML Composer). Which Yum Repository has the RPM for CentOS 5.2 (32 bit). TIA!

As far as I know you have to get it from mozilla.org, and it's not an rpm.
I should also point out that I've had a lot of trouble with the last two versions of Seamonkey. It has a tendency to crash whenever a local file is supposed to be accessed, usually when attempting to save or download a file or web page.
(Funny thing is, I haven't had that problem with the 64-bit pre-release version of 2.0pre1a, although I can't get the pdf and swf plugins to work with that....)
YMMV

If I install it, where should I install it?. (I think there were SeaMonkey RPMs, but for CentOS 3 and CentOS4).

Not good. Is that on 64 bit CentOS or 32 bit? (Probably, it doesn't make a difference).

I'm interested in the Composer part of SeaMonkey. Thank you, for your input!

The installer puts it in /usr/local/seamonkey by default, then makes a link (symbolic?) to there from /usr/bin/seamonkey.

Both.

I'd recommend getting Kompozer (http://www.kompozer.net/) - it's a LOT like Seamonkey's Composer, but it does a much better job with the html, it has a nicer editor, especially for the html source (with colors and all), and it has a slightly more flexible interface (in most ways - I found an exception last night!). And, if your Seamonkey crashes, which it does a lot on all my machines, it won't take Kompozer with it!

So, I went to download Kompozer for use here at work, and Seamonkey crashed!
Seriously!

You wrote that Kompozer is much better with the HTML, etc., so I will check that out. With regard to browsers, I had problems with Firefox 2.x, but 3.x is working very well for me. I'll stay away from SeaMonkey!

Well, I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but more power to ya!
Good luck.

I have Seamonkey in my repo. Feel free to use it:
[kikinovak] enabled=1 priority=1 name=CentOS-$releasever - Kikinovak baseurl=http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch gpgcheck=0
Change priority accordingly, or simple download it and rpm -ivh it.
Cheers,
Niki

I forgot to specify: it's the browser-only version. When I built it, I disabled the whole kitchen sink stuff like Mail, News and Composer.
IMNSHO, might as well use Firefox - the main point of Seamonkey is to get the whole suite....
