I'll just copy everything on /home over EXCEPT the .kde directory. I don't have anything in there anyway. I use Seamonkey for email so as long as I have .mozilla, I'm good to go. Heck, I may just copy .mozilla over and let the rest go. Well, I need my Documents folder too. Looks like this was simple enough to solve. Just leave .kde behind at least. No worries. Wish the multilib issue was this simple. o_O Dale :-) :-)
