I want to copy the KDE "root" user account over to another user and want to make certain that I don't lose anything important. Is the following enough/ok:
While logged in as "root" user:
Open terminal window and type following commands: su userAcct cp /root/.kde2 /home/userAcct cp /root/Mail /home/userAcct cp /root/KDesktop /home/userAcct
What exactly are you trying to save from the root account?
I think you want to use the cp -R option to pick up all the subdirectories in your copies. Also, don't forget to change the ownership of the files you copy when you are done.

Sorry, typed too quickly, should be "cp -r src dest". Actually if I do a cp -r with "su userAcct" logged into the terminal, the ownership should transfer as "userAcct".
I want all email/konq settings.
And KDE look/feel.
Thank You, Anthony
