I will be installing Centos 5 soon and would like to know how to save my digikam photos from centos 4.4 for inclusion in the centos 5 digikam version.

I have a external usb 2.0 hard drive to save the messages on. I know how to savethe messages on the hard drive. I am interested in knowing should I save the entire pictures directory or only the photos from my albums.

I have not done this myself, so this is only a suggestion. First locate your digikam's configuration fle. In KDE, it may be:

~/.kde/share/config/digikamrc

If it has a line Album Path=/some/path, you probably need to copy that directory and later refer to it in your new installation.
