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 would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

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.

I run digikam from Gnome. I checked the ~/.kde/share/config/ for digikamrc and that file does not exit.
I would think that it would not be neccessay to check that file for my photos. I have a folder called Pictures in my home directory. It contains my albums and the digikam3db file. I guess what I am really concerned about is that the digikam3db file may not be compatible with the Centos 5 version of digikam.
