[opensuse] Importing .kde data to a .kde4 system
I have installed oS v11.2 on a clean HD in a box that also contains another HD which contains v11.1/kde3. At present, the latter system is not operable, and I do not now if that is permanent. I can, I would be able to mount the /home directory to the v11.2 system, and thus retrieve its data (e.g address book and much else) for use under v11.2/kde4. I do not see a problem except for kmail and other kde applications. What I am asking is what difficulties and limitations will arise from bringing over the .kde directory and adding its contents to the .kde4 directory? How realistic is this procedure? What special steps would I have to observe? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Just copy the old ~/.kde to ~/.kde4 and that should be about it. Some of the settings may not apply anymore in KDE4, but I don't see why there should be any other problem. -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
