Ok, so She can just do this and create a a new profile, and She espied 
that a tool exist in SmpMw118 namely the Import facility where you can 
import the adress book, mail and Settings, but the last She can't use 
'cause it will import the faulty profile, but importing the Adress book 
and the mail/newsgroups should work fine. But where should She place the 
new profile, in the y:\mozilla.org tree or perhaps on the FAT32 volume 
so the new profile can be accessed by both SMpMw118 and it's Win 
equivalent as some sites She have troubles loggin in to with FF 10.0.12 
and 17.0.11esr

This may be a bit offtopic, but have somebody in this ng have any 
experience using File and print service in eCs? She plans to install the
ecs22_en_cd1_smp_betaII.zip on the new box which comes with both the 
Air-boot and the PEER server that's is running here in eCs 1.2. So what 
steps must be taken so that She can transfer all partitions to the new box?
