   Don, over the years I have been told several time by FRG that I was   
   courting failure if I did share the one SeaMonkey profile across Win7   
   and Linux.   
      
   That Laptop now has other problems so I am using this Win11 Desktop ....   
   and I have yet to install any Linux on it ..... but I will.   
      
   Having looked at the Laptops Profile.ini (I think was the file), it   
   looked a bit unusual as some of the locations it refered to were of the   
   format "E:\......." while others were of the Linux format "Home/ ...."   
   (Note the slashes being backwards.) ... so I could see the possibility   
   of Computer Confusion.   
      
   I accept FRG trying to warn me, help me out .... but so far so good!   
      
   WRT Step 4 in your reference, I just thought it might be simpler to   
   install SeaMonkey on Linux normally including making a Profile on Linux   
   .... then, in SeaMonkey, select Tools -> Switch Profiles --> Manage   
   Profiles -> Create Profile and have it pointing to the Windows Profile.   
      
   (Might have to try this when I get arround to installing Linux on this   
   Desktop.)
