SM sits on the y:\ partition and it will sit there on the new box also.

It's called with a .cmd file that looks like this:
<$qoute>
setlocal
set LIBPATHSTRICT=T
set BEGINLIBPATH=y:\mozilla.org\mozilla\SMPmW118;c:\os2\dll
rem set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=smtp:6
rem set NSPR_LOG_FILE=y:\mozilla.org\mozilla\SMPmW118\smtp6.log
set MOZILLA_HOME=Y:\mozilla.org\mozilla
set MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=y:\mozilla.org\mozilla\plugins
set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1
seamonkey.exe -P default -mailer
cdd y:\mozilla.org\mozilla\mozilla\Profiles\cribo.jacobsson\ffml759q.slt
attrib -a history.*
rem xcopy ffml759q.slt savedprofile /S /E /V /H /T /R /O
endlocal
</quote>

So the only change after creating the new profile, Brekke, would be to 
change the above seamonkey.exe statement to "seamonkey.exe -P Brekke 
-mailer"

As mentioned above, She uses a .cmd file to call SM, so showing you the 
current profile would be a bit overkill The only change to the above 
.cmd file would be to insert the statement SET 
MOZILLA_HOME=R:\MOZILLA.ORG\MOZILLA first in the .cmd file for starting 
SM with the Brekke profile. But the new prefs.js must be edited with 
TEDIT to set the signon file <xxxxxxxx>..s and wallet file <xxxxxxxx>.w
manually.  Then copy the Bookmarks and History file to their proper 
placement in the new profile on the r:\mozilla.org file/dir structure.

But how does She migrate the profiles for FF? And She assumes that the 
various .SQL files must be copied to their places also - are She right 
here or are She totally out in the blue here?
