My PC is dual-booted between Windows XP :-( and Linux (Ubuntu 7.10). I have Internet access on both sides. What I want to do is have a "common" image of both Firefox and of Thunderbird. That is, settings, bookmark lists, plug-ins, password lists, email archives, etc., etc. would live on a FAT32 disk partition visible to both sides. Whichever side I boot up on, the same bookmarks, plug-ins, etc. and my complete email archive would be there. Can this be done? Obviously, the binary programs are separate, but I'm hoping that the configuration and data can be shared. So, is there some fixed place that has a configuration file that says "find user configuration and data HERE" for both FF and TB? Can I repoint them to my shared partition, move my configuration and data files there, and operate seamlessly on either boot side? If I can do that, I could spend much more time over on Linux and much less time on that other system! Presumably I would have to keep version updates fairly closely in sync. Does anyone have any war stories to share? Thanks!
