I'm on 9.1, too, Erylon. I had to re-install after the big XFree86 debacle - I think my attempts to fix it made things worse <g>. I installed to different partitions so that I could see/copy anything that I needed. If I slocate kab I get, amongst other lines, /home/anne/.kde/share/config/kab2kabcrc /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc/lock /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf /usr/share/apps/kabc /usr/share/apps/kabc/formats /usr/share/apps/kabc/formats/binary.desktop /usr/share/apps/kabc/formats/kdeaccountsplugin.desktop /usr/share/apps/kabc/plugins /usr/share/apps/kabc/plugins/ldap.desktop /usr/share/apps/kabc/plugins/dir.desktop /OldRoot/root/.kde/share/config/kab2kabcrc /OldRoot/OldData/anne/.kde/share/config/kab2kabcrc /OldRoot/OldData/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc /OldRoot/OldData/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc/lock /OldRoot/OldData/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf /OldRoot/OldData/anne/.kde/share/apps/kab /OldRoot/OldData/anne/.kde/share/apps/kab/addressbook.kab /OldRoot/OldData/anne/.kde/share/apps/kab/addressbook.kab.backup /OldRoot/OldData/anne/.kde/share/apps/kab/kab.config The kab lines no longer appear. I simply don't understand why things should be different when you re-install. I do remember, though, that with 8.2 I had to reinstall, and some things worked the second time that had never worked, or had been unreliable, the first time. Anyway, the upshot is that /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf is what is being used for my addressbook. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
