fldigi config files

[Steve Viertell [e-mail] [linuxham]]

I was successfully using fldigi on ubuntu 14.04 but haven't used it for a
couple of months. In the meantime I installed linux mint 17 keeping my home
partition intact. I installed fldigi from the repository but when I fire it
up it wants to use the wizard to do the whole configuration again. Since
the .fldigi directory is still intact in my home/steve directory can I just
point it there and possibly skip most of the configuration? If so, how
would that be accomplished? maybe a command line switch? I would like to
keep all the eqsl info and the custom macros, etc. Thanks for your attention

Rename your /.fldigi and just do the basic wizard for now. Then copy
over your old /.fldigi one item at a time to the new one and let it
overwite the new entry.....log etc.

Don't forget this may not be the only problem you have, since you are
mixing 2 different distros. I save my old home and bring in items that
I need on at a time.

Thanks for the tips, I've got it mostly, working on fine tuning...
