If you want to free DVD space deleting Internet apps, deleting the RAM and storage space-wasting Firefox+Thunderbird combination instead of SeaMonkey leaves the initial installation more functional. SeaMonkey starts right off the bat with features that require a bunch of add-ons to acquire, which the DVD omits, with the stripped-down, minimalist UI, Chrome lookalike, Mozilla Suite spinoff that is Firefox.
Yes, most of us know. And some of us still prefer Seamonkey. I did for a long time and I also do not agree with everything happening in Firefox like copying everything from Chrome.
If you're going to get rid of SeaMonkey you should get rid of both Firefox and Thunderbird too instead of making people install Internet space-wasters they won't use just to be able to get to Internet they will use. Opera's rpm takes half the DVD space of Firefox's while including the email functionality that would require TB or SM in addition to FF. Links will get people onto the Internet from an only 3MB rpm, without need for nspr, nss and branding requires in addition.
Is Opera (the version with the mail client) OSS? NSPR and NSS are packages required from more than one app but also required by Firefox. But why should that need extra space? The branding package is pretty minimal as well. So all those are no arguments. For sure you get more functionality per byte when you go for Seamonkey instead of Firefox/Thunderbird but does it satisfy your users where many have no idea what seamonkey is at all but they know Firefox and Thunderbird from their Windows? People knowing Seamonkey will know how to get it. I "support" all of them otherwise I wouldn't package them since they exist but honestly I support the most used OSS webbrowser to be on the DVD media.
