The r: partition is FAT32 and don't have any OS on it, so the first step 
would be to create the top dir r:\mozilla.org

It lives on tte y: partition and that is only a data partition with no 
OS on it. Later, when the contents on this ole box are transferred to 
the new box (the partitions on the old and new box willh have the same 
driveletters except those that will contain an OS, for example eCs 2.1 
Personal and ArcaOS 5.0.3 and if can rescue the WSEB on the c: partition 
on the old box it will go to a correspondding C: on the new box. She 
plans to use File and Print Services to slurp over the old box data 
partitions to the new box, She thinks this would be easier than using 
ArcaMapper that requires that one use Netdrive with the Samba plugin 
plus the Samba program itself.

SM will be where it's now, but the new fresh profile will go to the r: 
partition.

So first She will open up the Profile file in the current SM, than open 
up another Profile file in the Profile Manager and setting the new 
profile as it should be but with a name of Brekke. She launches SM via a 
.CMD file which contains the path to SM and LIBPATHSTRICT-T and the last 
statement would be "seamonkey.exe -P Brekke -mail"

One can migrate the mail, personal adress book and Settings, but the 
last step She can't do because the current Settings is ill, that'w why 
SM gives Her so much trouble. The only thing that have to be done 
manuallly is copying Bookmarks, History and the three 78476582 files 
(She thinks that is three files with the extennsions .s, .w and another 
file too, but She can't find it in the prefs.js file. Should there be 
another such file too?
