Hi GLUGERs My migration to the new 18.04 install is going great so far. I attached my cloned drive and copied over some files and hidden files for profiles, like this Thunderbird one that recreated all of my address books, contacts and calendars . Except it is the newest T-Bird version instead of the old version I had to run on my borked system. Also, since I have a Firefox account when I opened FF I only had to log in to my account and all my profile was integrated. I use the ERS verion because the vanilla version doesn't support my add-ons, like scrapbook. But I have all of my history, and add-ons automagically. So I'm pretty happy other than losing my miscellany folder but I've survived this sort of thing before. Now I just need to set up a regular backup and actually use it. I had "back in time" a while back but I don't know that it even exists anymore. I'll ck. out other apps for that. I could use a script and after I resize my linux partition I'll have plenty of room for my home directory to backup to. So this has been pretty painless. If I could restore my Miscellany directory that would be a real winner but it is nowhere, even in deleted files that I can see with testdisk. It's the only major loss. That's the saga. Brian
