Migration Assistant Question
 

I'm running a dual-boot with XP and Ubuntu 6.06. I just upgraded to 7.04. From what I've read so far the migration assistant only comes on the live CD. Is there a way to download it? I already transferred all my bookmarks and contacts from XP, but I'd really like to transfer my documents, pictures and music. I'm a total noob still finding out where everything's located.
Thanks

If you have a broadband connection, you might try downloading the live CD, poke around and see if the tool exists as a standalone program.

BTW, you don't need to actually burn the CD for just poking around; you can just mount the iso file system directly. (If you find such a program. the easiest thing for a newbie might be to go ahead and burn the CD, boot it and run it from there.)

The way I know to mount the iso filesystem requires being root:

(There is another way to do the same thing these days w/o being root, but I haven't gotten familiar with it yet)

If you mount your iso filesystem as above, you can, for example search for any file with migration in its name as follows:

You should do this as root too, and the quotation marks are required. It might take quite a while, so you might want to go do somehting else while it searches.

Thanks for the response. I'm a total noob. Even though I upgraded, I still have Shipit sending me a CD. When it arrives I'll poke around and see what I find
