I can do this then. I'll just copy everything on /home over EXCEPT the |
30 |
.kde directory. I don't have anything in there anyway. I use Seamonkey |
31 |
for email so as long as I have .mozilla, I'm good to go. Heck, I may |
32 |
just copy .mozilla over and let the rest go. Well, I need my Documents |
33 |
folder too. |

Looks like this was simple enough to solve. Just leave .kde behind at |
36 |
least. No worries. Wish the multilib issue was this simple. o_O |
