To find where the appdata folder should be, open a command prompt and
type "%APPDATA%" without the quotes and it'll show in the prompt what
the path to appdata is :) I hope that helps.

again.
It would be great if anyone out there has the Linux version
(Ubuntu/Debian) of Gaim 1.5.
Thanks for your help. I used to be able to do all this stuff. Word
of advice: if you have a house with lead paint, and have a fire, don't
put it out yourself.

By default the config is in (XP at least): C:\Documents and
Settings\<user>\Application Data\.gaim and in *nix its ~/.gaim/
As for Gaim 1.5, I'm not 100% sure. Please reply all when you reply
so the entire mailing list gets your reply and someone with more
information can help also.

I don't know where the config files SHOULD be. A fresh install
didn't put them in the "Application Data" folder as I would have
expected. I can't seem to find where they are supposed to go.
So, is there any way to get Gaim 1.5 for linux, or am I relegated to
using Pidgin on Linux, which I must say is NOT an option for me.
I'm disabled, and accessibility is a HUGE thing for me, and Pidgin
just isn't very accessible. The interface is clumsy, too "fancy,"
and I just can't get used to it.

As long as you are using the location that the config files should
be, and use the same folder, in this case .gaim it shouldn't have
any issues picking them up.
As for finding Gaim 1.3.1, chances are you won't be able to, though
I won't say it's impossible. The Pidgin repositories on Pidgin's
SF project only goes back to 1.5.1 and Gaim's SF project repository
is empty. Not only is is bad security to use 1.3.1 as there are a
lot of fixes for security since then, as well as some required
fixes to allow certain protocols to continue working.

I have two issues:
First, I am porting from Windows to Linux, and for now, am porting
GAIM 1.3.1 over to Windows on a Virtual Box (thus issue 2.) I
need to know how to get GAIM 1.3.1 to recognize my user data in
the .gaim folder (which I cannot recreate by the way.) I see no
configuration files in the program files for gaim.
Second, I am not comfortable with the newer version of Gaim,
Pidgin. I prefer the interface and features of Gaim, and want to
find the linux version to download. Your website is EXTREMELY
difficult to navigate, unfortunately, and I cannot find older
versions to download, or any mechanism by which to find such on
the website. Could you please provide a link to older versions,
or an FTP site, or something where I can acquire a copy of Gaim
1.3.1 for Linux (Ubuntu).
Thank you.
