Is there a way to back up settings ?
Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2007 4:49 pm
Hi guys,
I just got my computer just the way I like it.
I was wondering if there is anyway to back up settings or configuration, and to what extent it can be done.
For example... I just got my KDE desktop the way I like it. I put a trash can on it, I shortened the bottom panel and made it transparent, I changed the splash screen, installed new icons and themes and I added new options to the right click menus.
Now all this customization takes awhile, is there a way for me to save it and back it up each time I install a system ?
What about the packages I installed. I installed KDE base and a whole bunch of packages such as grsync, kooka, kmix, kde guidance etc. Is there a way to back this up or automate it for next time ?
What about network settings, etc ? I just got NFS working. Id hate to have to do it again later on...
Whats possible to back up and whats not ? Hopefully at least the desktop look and feel.
I know sooner or later something will get broken or a new system will come out and Ill reinstall or upgrade. I want to try and save some time as it takes about one full day to set up everything since I have three computers.
Thanks
