[nmglug] migration to new 18.04 install

[Brian O'Keefe]

Hi GLUGERs

My migration to the new 18.04 install is going great so far. I attached 
my cloned drive and copied over some files and hidden files for 
profiles, like this Thunderbird one that recreated all of my address 
books, contacts and calendars . Except it is the newest T-Bird version 
instead of the old version I had to run on my borked system. Also, since 
I have a Firefox account when I opened FF I only had to log in to my 
account and all my profile was integrated. I use the ERS verion because 
the vanilla version doesn't support my add-ons, like scrapbook. But I 
have all of my history, and add-ons automagically.

So I'm pretty happy other than losing my miscellany folder but I've 
survived this sort of thing before. Now I just need to set up a regular 
backup and actually use it. I had "back in time" a while back but I 
don't know that it even exists anymore. I'll ck. out other apps for 
that. I could use a script  and after I resize my linux partition I'll 
have plenty of room for my home directory to backup to.

So this has been pretty painless. If I could restore my Miscellany 
directory that would be a real winner but it is nowhere, even in deleted 
files that I can see with testdisk. It's the only major loss.

That's the saga.
