Guest esage Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 In my Mnk 9.1 ... I am using Mozilla. I have the Bookmarks file from Netscape 7.01 on floppy. How can I port these over into [and replace] those in Mozilla? Pls give me step-wise if you can as I'm really new in Linux, and coming off about 9 years in Windows. What about porting the address book? Can that be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Question one seems like it should not be a problem. Click on "bookmarks" and then "manage bookmarks" In window that opens click "tools" and "import" That should basically do it. As for the address books... I am not sure. Haven't gotten around to importing my (window's) contacts. Tried this a while ago and nothing would work. It may be possible these days plus Netscape and Mozilla are very similiar and probally share the same format. Oh, and welcome neighbor... me from PA too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 When it asks you for the location of the bookmarks.html filw, then just choose: /mnt/floppy/wherever they are Of course, you'll have to mount the floppy first. Put the floppy in the drive, open a console and dp this (anything inside [ brackets ] are comments or actions and you don't actually type them): su [hit enter] [type in your root password...you won't see yourself typing anything, it is hidden)] [hit enter] mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest esage Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Thanks for all the help! I got the bookmarks in via floppy and they work fine in Netscape 7.01 on Mnk 9.1. Now I need to conquer copying a CD! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Well done! :) How'd it go with the address book, I still haven't gave it a go myself... got other problems to attend to. For CD burning/copies, may I recommend K3b? Rund the setup first, and then run the app. Its pretty straight forward stuff and does the same job for me as Nero does on windows.

ezroller Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I find that eroaster is very nero like. at least if you are used to using the wizards it is. while eroaster isn't made up of wizards, the different tabs for different burning projects is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest esage Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Scoopy: I skipped any attempt to import my Netscape Addresses and just went to entering them. I didnt have too many, and thought I'd just start over. I'm happy with Netscape...just ordered the new 7.1 version for Linux. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
