Plus, this may be a good time to rename the config directory to .old and |
| 32 |
copy one or two files over at a time until you find a failure. Then you |
| 33 |
know which file is causing the problem and can restore the other files |
| 34 |
and only have to reconfigure what that one file creates. |
| 35 |

Either way you do this it will require some time and effort. Mick's |
| 37 |
idea may be faster. Files with no difference won't matter so no point |
| 38 |
copying them over one or two at a time. Just do that for the ones that |
| 39 |
are different. Keep in mind, you can't always do this with different |
| 40 |
users unless you change the permissions. |

Post what, if anything, you figure out tho. It may help some other poor |
| 43 |
soul with the same issue. |
