(Thanks, Scott re selections - and less'n Kubuntu proves more copacetic to my irrational desires than non-K: looks like Mepis is where I'm tending; a few more experiments needed. Dial-up is a real handicap re maintenance / thus choices. 'Course with neighbor on Hi-speed + notebook portability ... hmmm)

I listed both notebook / desktop in prefs, but either GUI or text install - a menu is ~ a menu, as Steve seems to be saying (re the non-necessity for precise MAN ___ commands, with full complement of switches which you'd-Better-get-Right.)

Kinda fun, this stuff - so far. Lots easier than Chess + 4 moves ahead.

Got notebook partitioned; Doze installed first, as is necessary for that Imperialistic kluge. Would be pretty slick if I can actually get a distro detected, inspected and runnable.. GRUB - first of course, with Doze present; I'll discover if these distros recognize that priority (?) in the scheme of practical things.



(But I still can't get Mepis/Moz to recognize my sneaker-net installed bookmarks.html file; installed as Root (OK, su) etc. in what seems to be the Right directory == where the default one resided (renamed.) Now that's all Logical, innit? WTF doesn't Mepis/Moz agree?)






[Just tell me .. There's. No. %^#$&^@# Registry! - OK?]

No, simply copied the .html file - as worked in Moz on the Cpq's ME.
(I had supposed that "Export" merely obviates necessity of finding the sub-dir in which Moz keeps various data - then copies it to target. I mean.. straight 'html' - what massaging could it need?)

Will pursue anon, what with all the recent distractions.

Hmmm - boot CD a la Demo; run Moz - R/O all but one small HD partition, for data.

Later, retrieve what seemed worth saving from online session -- bug check, wipe partition -- for next session. Get Rich: sell Make-a-Doze-CD\ufffd from your OS-copy - safe browsing at last! . . .

[Why Not? Use all the other fancy aps - off-line; the only time Doze is ~~'safe']
(except from itself, natch.)
