Yaaa, shuure. Need coffee? The files I had to copy are on a
Fedora 10 machine, as I and everyone else took for granted.
Fwiw, all my computers run Fedora 10, apart from this one --
which ran it, too, for a while. But it took at least ten minutes to boot
-- and the only use I have for it is in waiting rooms.
Meanwhile, however, I've done that preliminary job with scp
instead.
The hard part comes next : transferring the
same .addressbook, .pinerc, etc., to my wife's machine, on which she has
not yet run (Al)Pine; she has always done all her mail till now over ssh
into a remote machine, and run it there.
I'm guessing scp will make some trouble about userids and
permissions, if not also passwords.
I suppose the least troublesome way will be to copy them all into
a folder, move that folder as root to her account on this machine, chown
it, and only then scp it. If anybody has a better easier way, I'm all
ears.
