I have wiped out Fedora and installed Xubuntu on my Thinkpad. Before doing so, of course, I made two backups to an external USB drive, one with rdiff-backup and the other with the cp command (nearly 160,000 files!).
Usually after installing a package I can overwrite its . file with the one from my backups. When I launch the app, even for the first time, it comes up with all my personal settings. However, I need to restore my printer drivers. I have half a dozen laser printers and had more than one driver for most of them. Getting the printers configured properly usually took a lot of time and googling. Somewhere in the mass of files in my backups the printer information must be stored. If I have to reinstall each one from scratch it will take many hours. Please tell me the information is in my backups! _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
