Last time I did anything like this was when I was moving from one distro of linux to another. I made sure the new linux mounted the old one, and symlinked /var/spool/mail across partitions. This way, there was only one mailbox. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
