[nmglug] rsync errors

[Ted Pomeroy]

NMGLugers, After a reinstall avoid restoring the old settings/config files
for your browser and some other applications. Especially if shifting the
Desktop environment. Changes in the application and your system and kernel
make for problems reading the old files. You can sort through to find a set
of bookmarks as a json file and try to copy that to your home directory and
then, in Firefox try and Import. If FF balks the file may be incompatible.
Re-install is a time to review your settings and preferences and update the
User-Mind, ie, make new choices or confirm the old ones. See what you
think. Thank you, Ted P.
