Thanks for the collective wisdom, pengiepersons. And as someone said, this lack of transparent "export" - even if it is simply copy the contents of .evolution directory into a "file" and then undo them into the required (and prompted for??) directory on the new box, it is really a Useability Bug. What is almost - and often truly is - subliminal absorbed knowledge to a IT technical person is so out of the information range for those not so versed as to make it hard to even find the right way to conceptualise the question about the problem one has, much less articulate it. Heck, its makes it hard to conceptualise in any meaningful way what the problem IS to ask a question around. Imagine the scene: an Aussie squaddie in the middle of the Papua New Guinea mountains asks a local (who has never seen anyone from the other side of the ridge in the next valley, much less a European) to "G'day mate, go fix that radio over there. It ain't transmitting." Presuming that the chap speaks English, of course. Which he probably doesn't. The people in the next valley don't either. In fact they speak a totally unrelated language that is mutually incomprehensible to any valley around. Well, thats just the way it feels hereabouts at times - something isn't simply "doing what I want". Err err err. There is an old Irish joke it is always worth pondering, for it is both banal and deep: Gentleman asked gobda in the middle of the remotest bog in the west: "Is that the way to Dublin?" "Sure 'tis Sir. But if I were you, I wouldn't be starting from here!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
