Hello everyone:
Well, seems there's trouble right here in River City :-( I
was planning to do a fresh install on my AMD 64 / SuSE 9.3 desktop
machine and decided to save my
'/home/mike' directory on a separate hard drive (which I did). I then
performed a basic install and then copied the 'saved' /home/mike
directory to replace the /home/mike directory created during the install.
Not sure what I did or didn't do but when I tried to open the
files or use the devices, I kept getting KDE error messages (will not
save configuration). I have now done anohter clean install but, if
possible, would like to use the 'saved' /home/mike directory. Not sure
if this is a permissions problem or what. The old directory is still on
the separate hard drive so I do have access to it.
During the last corrputed install, I was able to save
important working files to my laptop so all is not lost. It would be
nice if I could salvage my earlier settings, etc., as this would save me
a lot of grief.
Any ideas. I did offer Tux a sacrifice of dandylions and some
dead bugs - not sure if this will help ;-)
Cheers,
Mike
