With the kindly support of the list I managed to have a solution as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mkdir .netscape [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ln -s /C/Program\ Files/Netscape/Users/Default/* .netscape/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd .netscape/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ # rename some files (different names under W and Linux) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.netscape$ mv prefs.js preferences.js [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.netscape$ mv bookmark.htm bookmarks.html [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.netscape$ mv secmod.db secmodule.db [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.netscape$ mv history.list history.dat [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.netscape$ mv Cache cache Some files will be (re)created by Netscape in the Linux directory (eg. plugin-list), so they will be duplicates. No other problems till now.
