I want to get bookmarks i had stored on my old mandrake distro that i have since deleted. The same bookmarks are stored under windows in IE and Firefox, however at the moment i cannot access windows and i was wondering if i could ge thte book marks without having to go into windows.

Any help is much appriciated as always

Hi Boffy,

If you're running Mandrake 10.0, then your Windows drive should be mounted under /mnt/windows, or something like that. You can just point your filemanger to this destination and copy the files over from the Windows drive. No need to boot Windows.

Cheers,
Tim

I can access the windows partition i just don't know where to find the file containing the bookmarks

RetepSlein · 08-04-2004, 08:42 AM

c:/Documents and Settings/*username*/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/default.*something*/bookmarks.html

Or that would be /mnt/windows/ ...
