Now that I have successfully installed a triple-boot system (Windows XP, ubuntu 6.10 [default], and Fedora Core 6), I'm trying to share files (e.g., the ~/.evolution mail archives) between the Linux distributions on the commonly mounted /data volume.
The gotcha is that ubuntu and Fedora assigned different UID to me, (1000 and 500, respectively). See http://www.kernel-panic.org/Members/cmaier/hamburger-lugnut-log/ for my latest antics. Is it possible (and not too painful to bother) to change the UID of an existing user? Is it better to create a group that contains both users #500 and #1000?? Messing with UIDs looks like one of the things that don't look _too_ hard, but may be a minefield of side effects... -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
