If you put the files in the folder when it was not mounted, it will always be there when it is not. Once you put a disk in it and mount it, it disappears and puts the contents of the floppy on it.

Re: [newbie] mozilla files
They're in the hidden directory .mozilla in your home. Thus for user foobar, they're at /home/foobar/.mozilla. (The dot preceding mozilla is what makes it a hidden directory.) Being hidden you won't see it with ls. Use ls -a or set your favorite graphical file manager to show hidden files and directories.

The address you were given is correct but you may not have noticed the . in front of mozilla denoting hidden. In your filemanager click veiw, click show hidden files, and you'll get to mozilla then you'll have to burrow down to get at the mail directory, the abookmab (html page) and bookmarks (another html file in mozilla). I'm not sure why it's hidden but I always forget to tell people about it until someone asks. One thing that puzzles me is, If abook.mab is your addressbook,then why does it only have what seem to be configuration matter in it, no email addresses , and I do, I asure you, have over 500 email addresses in my mozilla addressbook ?

John ~~~ You've got me John. I just know mine is there. I can see all of the configuration stuff too, but the addresses are there. I have nowhere near 500 addresses but the file is 10.4 KB and it's not anywhere near that size when Mozilla is installed. Besides when I installed Mozilla1 the first time from the mozilla.org download I just copied and pasted abook.mab, history.mab and bookmarks.html from the old /.mozilla.9.8 directory and everything was as it had been in .0.9.8. Since it worked it means it must have been the right choice. The only explanation that makes sense to me (and I've been wrong before LOTS) would be if Mozilla is using a directory other than your /home/username/.mozilla/and so on for some reason. Is it Mozilla1, or the default from 8.x, and if upgraded did you use the Cooker package or download and install manually? If the latter you'll have to find it. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org Your own qualities will help prevent your advancement in the world.
