It's possible, I once did it, IIRC it might be somewhere in the Ubnutu Studio or Debian user, but perhaps Arch Linux mailing lists. I can't remember what I did, but I remember that it was a PITA and I didn't restore everything, but another user did. IOW, backup everything and just try it and search the web for information how to do it. I can't help, but definitively say, that this is possible. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
