If She reindex the old Sent profile, it must be copied to another 
partition because there's only 38MB space left on the y: partition where 
the mozilla tree sits. OTOH, if She creates the new profile on r: and 
move the Sent and Inbox info there, then space will not be an issue as 
there are about 10Gib free space there. But what in the nine purple 
hells of Palain does the various nstmp dirs do? Are they necessary or 
can they be deleted?

Yup, the old and sick profile and the spanking new Brekke profile on R: 
The create .cmd file will have a SETLOCAL statement and a SET 
MOZILLA_HOME=R: at the top and will invoke the ProfileManager. In 
another Windowed OS/2 screen the ProfileManager will point to the 
current and sick profile, then just compare and tick off the settings in 
the new profile including the two newsgroups, i.e. news.ecomstation.com 
and news.mozilla.org. Then after the new profile is created, migrate the 
Adress Book (it's not sick) or can it be moved via a XCOPY statement to 
the new profile, and if so, which file(s) does the Adress Book use?

She have problems connecting to certain https: sites, but not all. The 
site for our town library is accesible even with FF 10.0.2 and 17.0.1ESR 
- can't build FF31 (=lack of space on the y: partition, but when the new 
profile works, then the old profile can be deleted and the space will 
probably suffice for the new browser. Must do the install of ff31 in two 
steps namely using ANPM to install rpm-yum and building FF45 and then 
build FF31 via yum as it is stated in the installation instructions. It 
will be slow as hell on this box, but She could get access to for 
example Wikipedia and Ginza (a company that sells music, both vinyls and 
CDs and books plus retro stuff).

Just a short question about the WarpIn issue: First She copies the 
database to a safe location, then She deletes the Warpin program and 
reinstall it from the self-extracting archive which She obtained from 
Netlabs. Is that the correct way to go?
