Thanks Not Zed,

What do the "xxxxx" stand for?

As of yet, I haven't figured out how to SUCCESSFULLY back up, move, and 
restore the necessary files from the old computer (MDK 10.1, KDE, Evo 2.03) 
to the new one (MDK 10.1, KDE, Evo 2.03).

Other than the help you and others have provided here, I haven't located the 
procedures for this in the archives or anywhere else.  I'm willing to learn 
whatever is necessary and appreciate the time and patience from you and 
others.

Before posting here, I tried different variations of what's below to no 
avail.

How do I back up and restore the b/u to to the new computer and will the 
migration wizard pop up?

TIA,

Celsun
