I'm migrating from a slower 433mhz box running Suse 9.3 (with xfcs4 in a small amount of ram) to a "newer" 2ghz box with 10.0 (installing real soon now ..tick-tock-tick-tock).
When this is done I want to migrate over the bookmarks for Firefox (easy) and the contents of Evolution (got a shared network drive to ease things).
However, it doesn't look like Evolution is going to be so easy.
No luser menus for export anywhere, and my level of knowledge is pretty shallow. Have I missed something?
The most useful thing google showed up was a couple of scripts for exporting the contacts for thunderbird. Can't use thunderbird, for some reason it screws up totally on my email provider (which after 15yrs I don't want to adandon as it provides me with IMAP, though I have to keep the folder sizes moderate on the server, so have to periodically copy archives onto the local disks. Or the imap chokes).
Seems a bit odd I can't just seamlessly move something from evolution on one box to evolution on the other - both the same version afaik tell, too.
Must be other inexperienced lusers who will hit similar problems ... any "instructions" or pointers anyone can give? A How-to anywhere?
If both versions of evolution are the same try: rsync -varpltz ~.evolution/ new_machine:/home/user_name/.evolution Just tried it here from my 9.3 desktop to my 10.0 laptop and worked fine. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
