Try copying everything under your root account under Gentoo. Try to exactly figure out what do you need to keep. Mail -> Important Bookmarks -> Quite important Mail filters -> Not so important Profile -> Unless you don't have some stored password or server setting you don't remember, nothing that cannot be set up again from scratch in 10 minutes. Create a new profile on your Gentoo box. Don't overwrite the .mozilla dir created by Mozilla. Bookmarks : export bookmarks on a file, and import them in your user account (Tools in bookmark management app). Mail: as for the mail content, I think you can just copy the files. Mozilla should recognize them as folders. Filters: I don't know. AFAIK many of the files in ./mozilla are settings related to your environment, IMHO is a bad idea to copy them from RH to Gentoo. Instead of trying to save every preference, save only your data and set up again Mozilla. I think it will save you a lot of headache. -- Arturo di Gioia web: http://www.ing.unitn.it/~digioia/ PGP public key: http://www.ing.unitn.it/~digioia/files/adg_gpg_pub.asc Registered Linux user #230853 (http://counter.li.org).
