Saving photos for new centos 5 inclusion.

[Richard Miles-814]

I am going to update my system from Centos 4 to Centos 5. I believe Centos 5 is based on Fedora 6.

What and how should I save my Photos to insure that I can install the Centos 4 photos on Centos 5.?

I would greatly appreciate your help.

I'm not sure what your question entails. Your photos will alway be compatible
with whatever other system, just back them up during the migration.
I suppose you use digikam (since you're addressing this ML). To migrate
digiKam you also have to backup the digikam3.db file in the digiKam root.
After migration restore everything to the same place. Start digikam and
configure the Album root path to that place.
When you currently use an old digikam version (0.7x), starting digiKam in the
new distribution will walk you through a database upgrade at first start.

Hope that helps
Gerhard

Thank you for your answer. I will backup the Pictures directory which contains
those files and I should be good to go. I am assuming that digikam root pertains to that directory.
