I will say sorry right up front because this e-mail is being sent from my ISP account by web browser. It might be in html. I hosed my FC5 install. I am running the box from Knoppix live cd ver 3.6. I can get to all my data. My critical files are almost completely copied over to another box. I don't know the name or location of the files that hold my address book in KMail and my bookmarks in Firefox. I can't get my KMail files (the e-mail that I saved in folders) to move by scp the file names have a lot of puncuation marks in them and the SSH does not like it. Will these files still work in Kmail if I can zip them, move them, and unzip again? Or, does some one know a clean simple way to get these files copied over to my other box with the SSH/SCP command in the shell?
