[tomboy-list] one Tomboy note for dual boots

[Anthony Hepple]

Hi Agua

To set environment variables in Ubuntu I add a statement to my .bashrc file.
This file can be found in your home directory and can be edited with
any text editor, but you may need to tell the editor (or file manager)
to display hidden files.  The line you should add, to the end of the
file, will look something like this:

export TOMBOY_PATH=/osshare/tom_boy

As for Windows, I'm sure there will be a graphical interface for doing
this. Does Vista have a 'Control Panel'? If so I'm sure that's where
you'll find it.

Hope this helps.

Anthony

(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
