I was trying to copy my Skype contacts list to my wife's Skype account. On Skype under Windows XP there is an Option to Backup the contacts list to a nominated file. I found that one could then Restore this file to another users contact list. As I said, this may be possible under Linux, but if so I did not find it. The contact list itself can be shared by Linux and Windows. The Linux Skype documentation is more or less non-existent, as far as I could see. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
