I have two hard drives, one with 10.3 and one with the lastest distribution
of 11.0. Using kde3 3.5.7 on 10.3 and 3.5.9 on 11.0 Whats the best way to
move mail, etc from one to the other. When i copy to DVD it changes the
group permission to root and makes most stuff read only. I then have to go
thru and change everything. Is there and easier way?
Make sure your uid/gid on both systems match (type ‘id’ in each and
compare) and tar everything up (tar /path/to/tarfile.tar /path/to/backup) and when you extract it do so as your user and you
should be fine (tar -xvf /path/to/tarfile.tar).
Good luck.
