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.
