wondered if an option to deal with this might be to offer a short series of evening class at the local high school (many of which run 'recreational' evening classes), or approach the University of the Third Age or the Workers Educational Association to offer a short course. Just a thought. mac

[ubuntu-uk] Liferea: transfer settings from 1.4 to 1.6?

2009-11-17 Thread mac
I've just done a clean install of Karmic on a Dell laptop. I want to transfer my Liferea_1.4 settings; but Karmic uses Liferea_1.6. It's turning out to be a complete PITA. I don't fancy redoing all the settings by hand. Anyone had success with this? mac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com
