I used to have a /data directory that was on a separate hard drive. It makes backups easier and if something bad happens, I'm not worried about config files much if at all. So far, I have had to delete/rename the kde directory twice to fix some weird problem. I may do this again when the next big update comes out. One would think that KDE would either warn folks about config issues or have some script that lets users know there may be issues. It would also be nice if they would let us know which file we could remove so that everything isn't lost. Then again, it may be that it only affects my setup. I still like some things about the old KDE3 way so I tend to run that way as much as I can but others have moved on. I suspect Alan may end up renaming his directory and trying that before it is over. It's just a pain to get everything set back like it was again tho. :/ Dale :-) :-)
