The files I had to copy are on a Fedora 10 machine, as I and everyone else took for granted. Fwiw, all my computers run Fedora 10, apart from this one -- which ran it, too, for a while. But it took at least ten minutes to boot -- and the only use I have for it is in waiting rooms. Meanwhile, however, I've done that preliminary job with scp instead. The hard part comes next : transferring the same .addressbook, .pinerc, etc., to my wife's machine, on which she has not yet run (Al)Pine; she has always done all her mail till now over ssh into a remote machine, and run it there. I'm guessing scp will make some trouble about userids and permissions, if not also passwords. I suppose the least troublesome way will be to copy them all into a folder, move that folder as root to her account on this machine, chown it, and only then scp it. If anybody has a better easier way, I'm all ears. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
