Hi Carl,
Okay, I thought what I had was rc2. I have the following in .mozilla.
ls ~/.mozilla/
appreg maxwell mozver.dat registry
My "auniqueIDhere" is maxwell? Or something other than username?
Are you saying I would need to do a Manual merge of my preferences etc.?
Or is the part in the release notes about the multiuser script needed?
I install as root and then use Mozilla as a standard user.
I wish they could at least take care os us users so upgrade is not a
hassle. Going from Netscape to Mozilla was a major hassle as I had to
hand edit the ldif file and others and rename files export/import etc.
Any other pointers appreciated.
