Partially true. Most of the user settings, bookmarks, email(evolution, thunderbird) etc are stored in "dot" folders. Most of these applications also allow safe upgrade from the old settings file. Consult the application documentation for more details on upgrade. -- Manilal K M : മണിലാല് കെ എം. http://libregeek.blogspot.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
