[tomboy-list] one Tomboy note for dual boots

[Sandy Armstrong]

(don't forget to reply-all so your reply goes to the list next time)

I can't look up details right now, but I'm sure if you google "windows
set environment variable" you'll find the instructions for doing it in
Windows Vista, and if you ask in the Ubuntu Forums they will help you
set an environment variable in Ubuntu.

Or maybe someone else on the list will help. :-)

Best,
Sandy
