Dear Neville:

1) Thanks so much to you and everyone for responding.

If everything is in my hidden .netscape directory, then I can just save
the entire .netscape directory. Right? As for the mail (nsmail), I
really don't need it since I usually save any and all important messages
to a file and then copy the file to my zip drive and to my storage area
online. 

So, please confirm that indeed this is all I need to do. That is, that
after a new install I can automatically copy and OVERWRITE all files in
/home/sher/.netscape directory with my saved /home/sher/.netscape
directory (from my zip drive). If this is all I need to do, then hooray.
Will do so and never have to rebuilt my address book and filters again.

2) Now, here is a kettle of a fish. I wonder if any of you have had this
problem:

The last two times that I reinstalled LM72, I discovered that when I
clicked on my /home directory, LM72 would NOT install any files from the
second CD. I had formatted only hda, NOT hdb (/home) nor did I resize
it.  My /home directory is on a separate Linux hard drive -- my Linux
system consists of hda for /boot, /swap and /system + applications and
hdb which has only one directory /home), It would stop at vlock, then
ask me to insert my second CD, then start working but, just as suddenly,
just barely out of the station, so to speak, it would suddenly say:
"Post-Installation" and it would go on as if it had installed the
remaining 8 minutes of applications. After seeing this happen twice, I
caught on, did a new install in which I completely reformatted BOTH hda
and hdb. This time, LM72 installed everything, including every file on
the second CD right down to the last 10 seconds (I did a Custom,
Install).

Anyone have this problem?

Thanks so much.

Benjamin
