moving the hidden file /root/.mozilla to /mnt/home and then do a relative link to /mnt/home/.mozilla back to /root.

Thanks, jim1911, i may try this with other apps. Can i do it with Wine, such that ALL wine apps will automatically get installed elsewhere, including dotnet, vcrun2005, and all windows apps i install on wine? That would be great, since wine can get real fat the more win apps you install in it.

I think the mozilla browsers firefox and seamonkey already offer an easier way to move their cache directories, using their config screen:

Will this accomplish the same thing as your relative link method?


Also, can somebody confirm if the SeaMonkey cache will remain in ram, and not get saved to the pupsave file, until i close SeaMonkey?


I'm still not able to save text files to the desktop, does that mean my pupsave is still corrupt?


Thanks!

hi johnywhy

Nah, probably not corrupt Wink the rox pinboard is more virtual than a dir like win's desktop, only symlinks are on it (thus only the symlink is removed if you do that, the original stays in the filesystem - kind of like win's shortcut deal). Save your text files (or anything) in an appropriate or easy-to-recall location in the filesystem (like a /root/mysaves dir), then drag to the pinboard. Sometimes there's a 'desktop' dir in /root/ (I seem to recall Wine and/or other apps/wms-like-xfce may use somesuch)

also getting rid of firefox/gecko browser cache, there's another thing for flash 'cookies' if you use macr0media Razz (scrollup in the thread)..
