Doesn't matter. If you're wanting to transfer any sort of file, so long
as you can mount the partitions as read/write then you can copy any file
across and put it in any directory that you have permission to do so.

It does matter. Shane's original question was "what" to copy, not "how".

Shane,
try updating some settings and then look for a file with a recent
modification timestamp on it ...

e.g.
ls -alt | head (in your home directory, this will include dot files)

find ~ -mmin -5 (for files modified less than 5 minutes ago)

It's likely to update a file somewhere in your home directory tree.

Thanks
Found it
~/.kde/share/config/kontactrc
holds the apps that have been selected to be in kontact
then each individual application holds the relevant settings
ie.
~/.kde/share/config/korganizer/
holds the appointments etc. that I've entered on the calendar

I'm slightly miffed as the first thing I had done was locate kontact
but that mustn't have gone into the dot files :\

Double Grr, I just used the file finder on the kde menu and found the
abovementioned files right away

Thanks Again

You'll normally find such things in ~/.kde3.4/share/apps
