Hi
I can take care of the how part of the backup, just want to know the 'what all' part
So I want to know where (which files/folders) are these settings stored so I can make a quick backup of them using tar.
Answer any you can please
1. keyboard shortcuts - thise that are edited from 'kcontrol'
, and application specific shortcuts , like konquerors.
2. Kernel - I installed a suspend2 patched kernel, from a few deb fiels. Possible to backup this?
3. downloaded stuff: can I just copy and paste this folder : /var/cache/apt/archives? Or are some other files are needed .
4. the 'task bar' & other desktop settings. - I guess somewhere in ~/.kde , right?
Thats all for now
few more..
5. autologin, & other user settings. LIke I created a few users, would simply copying /home/user folder work?
6.keyboard layout - added a keyboard layout, where would this be backed, so that I don't have to add it again.
7. themes/fonts/splash screen and other settings from kcontrol
8. Services! THe one I disabled to speed things up. I wouldn't want to go throught the whole disabling process again..
Thanks
btw why isn't all this info more 'known'? Considering the fact that unlike windows everything in linux can be saved/restored with a few tar commands.
Isn't it a bit sad where linux is moving?
