Her WinX have screwed up the FAT32 driveletter from r: (the same as in 
os2) to O:, but in the new box the FAT32 volume will have the same 
driveletter R: on both sides - will do a clean install of win7 32bit on 
that box on a C: primary partition and WSeB on another C: partition and 
a flavour of DOS on a C: partition.

She thinks that the simplest way to place the new SMPmW profile would be 
to put it in a subdirectory to R:\SEAMONKEY and a new FF profile on 
R:\FIREFOX. But that begs the question, must the SET 
MOZILLA_HOME=y:\mozilla.org\mozilla be changed or can it be as it is now?

In Her case it's about moving all data from the old box to the new box 
and having the same driveletters on the new box for the corresponding 
'old' partitions on the old box, for example the old F: partition with 
it''s contents should be copied to the new F: on the new box - rinse and 
repeat for all the other partitions that sits on the old box but NOT the 
C: that contains W*nXP, there She will do a fresh install. Would be nice 
though to somehow backup some applications, i.e. browsers stuff and 
restoring them to Win7 when it's created and up and running. She 
supposes that this xcopying could be done over the network or using File 
and Print services to to the copying. Will also use rsync to backup the 
whole system to a 70Gib USB stick formatted with JFS. If File and Print 
services don't work, install rsync and restore the whole shebang from 
the USB stick. As She understands it an XOPY over a network would be 
something like this: XCOPY \\SORILESERV\C:\*.* \\SORILEACLI\C:\ /S /E /V 
/H /T /R or is She out in the blue here?
