- Where does Kmail store its filter settings? On my vintage KDE 3.1.4, the file that Kmail uses to store the filters and other settings is:

That sounds like you don't have /home as a separate partition and that you pretty much nuked your entire setup (after taking a backup) for the upgrade. My setup is probably overly complicated, /usr /opt /var /boot and /home are all partitions which I backup at random times and before upgrades. With /var this is probably overkill (it could have been left in the root partition) but this setup has saved me several times.
When upgrading to a new level, I also rescue /etc and hide its backup in the /home tree for a couple of months. The upgrade is then always done as an upgrade rather than a new install.

I've just recently installed Suse 9.1 and am still learning. What are the purposes of the different directories (/usr /opt /var)? Why should they be kept on seperate partitions, and why should they be backed up individually? I know what /root and /home are for. If there is a webpage that outlines this out, I would appreciate a link. Also, are these directories the same across all versions of linux? I have a little experience with Fedora, but not much.
