    So long as the original drive is mounted, use the import functions
    within Mozilla. Your prefs and such are likely in C:\documents and
    settings\<username>\Application Data\ on the Win2K side, if it's aa
    recent version of netscape (if it's a very recent version of Netscape
    (6.0 or better) it'll have a directory name like
    C:\documents and settings\<username>\Application Data\Netscape <or
    possibly Mozilla> \Profiles\Default USer\z02uzdg9.slt\ which will
    contain all you files, which you can just transfer driectly into the
    corresponding folder for your Linux user.

    I don't know if it'll work, but if you're using mozilla on both sides,
    you may be able to use the *same* profiles.
