greets again . . .
my laptop test case for debian continues. my goal today is to make my TDE -- menus, apps, panel, desktop, etc. -- as close as i can to my desktop machine. i could do this by hand, which would take a day or two, or perhaps by copying my configuration from the desktop to the notebook via something like a usb drive.
what i do not know is what configurations to copy. the whole .config directory seems a little drastic, and i do not know that it would do the job. would .trinity do it?
Yeah, you could copy over .trinity, but you'd normally do that before loging in to a user the first time.
It's actually probably faster to just:
1) re-install debian ^ (with a dummy user if it forces you to create one during the install) 2) copy the entire /home/{username} from your desktop 3) create {username} with the same name/group (and UID/GID) as the desktop 4) re-install TDE
You can change the order as long as you don't login with the {username} before copying /home...
Well, or, you can just delete {username} on the laptop and then do 2) and 3), which is faster still...
