You should be able to copy the /home/olpc folder to an SD card or USB stick. I believe everything you need is actually in /home/olpc/.sugar , so just recursively copy (cp -r) that folder into your new home folder, and it should retain all your identity info. I don't know if you will run into datastore issues upgrading to a newer version of sugar (a Sugar dev would know better), so you might want to keep a backup copy around. bobby _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
