Subject: Sharing GNUS between NT/Linux
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1998 09:41:52 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.SOL.3.96.981109093243.8425A-100000@woody.wcnet.org> (raw)
Here's the situation (and I'm hoping that someone has done this before)...
I have a machine with Linux and NT installed. Linux is recent addition. I
was using Emacs/GNUS on NT just fine. I had my home directory variable in
NT set to "M:\" so that my "Mail/", "News/", ".gnus", and other related
files/directories were all there. (M:\ is a backed-up network dirve and my
workstation is *not*, so I put everything there.)
Now I'm running Under Linux part of the time and I'd like to use that same
files that I was under NT. Under Linux, I have mounted my "M:\" drive as
"~/M/" thanks to smbmount. :-)
I *believe* that .gnus, .newsrc.eld, Mail, News, and so on should be (and
can be) shared. My .emacs file will *not* be shared between NT and Linux,
so what I'm looking for are the necessary settings to put in my Linux
.emacs so that Gnus will know to find everything it needs in "~/M/"
instead of in "~/"
I've checked the Gnus manual and found *many*variables which contain "dir"
in their names. It appears as if I need to force several of to the new
value(s) in my Linux .emacs file. Have I missed something? Is there a
"global" setting I can make so that all Gnus components just figure it
out?
Should this work eventually?
I'll summarize if there's interest.
Thanks for any help,
Jeremy
