[opensuse] Kmail, moving mails from SuSE10 to SuSE10.1
Hi list, I'm finally doing it...moving my laptop DELL M90 to SuSE10.1 Why?; well 10.1 handles my advanced intel funny 3945 something wireless chip just fine. As opposed to SuSE10 which doesn't. I need to move/copy my 1Gbyte Kmail over. Currently it's in /home/vk/Mail/..., my Kmail config file is in /home/vk/.kde/share/config/kmailrc, right? What else do I need to copy over - and can I just copy it? Any advise is greatly appreciated! -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Basically, but you would lose your kaddressbook data that way. I recommend copying all of .kde over. And I would wait a couple of weeks for 10.2 instead of moving to 10.1 now. It's worth it for the package management improvements. regards Will -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thank you for your prompt answer! - now, I think I'll listen to what you're saying...wait til 10.2 is ready. - two things though... - "copy .kde over", will that really work? It sounds nearly too good to be true.. I could then copy my /home/vk/Mail folder into an import-all-from-me-folder and then let Kmail IMPORT the mails? Well, actually three things... I was, like so many others, deeply disapointed and a little chocked to realize the shortcomings of 10.1 I bought (like I bought ALL the others since 7.0) the package and installed it just when it came out. What a disaster. You sound as if you know a little more than I about the upcoming 10.2? Would you say that the update algorithm has been solved and may be expected to work? Would you recommend the OpenSuse or the official Novell issue? -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The idea is not to import the mails, but to use them directly.

You can check for yourself, the betas and release candidates are available and the review is open.
Would you say that the update algorithm has been solved and may be expected to work?
It is better than it was. Perfect? I don't know yet. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFFcELntTMYHG2NR9URAgUSAJ96AcIQ1w4F3rJvHIqzczI5ehHrgACfRewy tDrihcxq2dHyLtgbeUxb594= =JR7h -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Thank you for your remarks. I'll give it a try (10.2), I'll grab an internet install image tonight. -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In any case, backup your data first. Try it, if possible, on a spare partition. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

No, it's that easy. If you have spare disc space elsewhere, backup and restore every dir in /home. 10.2 creates (given its freedom) a separate partition for /home so in future all you need to do is tell it to keep the existing /home partition when upgrading.

Yes, we've been testing 10.1 -> 10.2 a lot. But, For Successful Living I suggest that you, at install or upgrade time, deselect or taboo Zenworks Linux Package Management and use the openSUSE Linux Package Management pattern instead. Zenworks/zmd is a lot better in 10.2 but the openSUSE option is lightweight and will be a whole lot more familiar to you ;). SuSE's coming home for Christmas.
