I've never done it, but I'm sure it's possible. Is your Windows and Linux on the same HD?
My Windows is on hda1 which is mounted in /mnt as hda1. So for instance as root I'd go get the Firefox file in Windows and copy it to my home directory thusly...
Code:
List profile's contents to make sure it's there...
Code:
Then, copy the Windows/Firefox/bookmarks file to my home folder...
Code:
After it is copied to my home folder, I'd use the Firefox importer to "install" it.
Open Firefox, go to "Bookmarks" - "Manage bookmarks" - file - import - imort from file. Then make you way to the bookmarks.html file you just copied to your home folder.
I can't see any reason this wouldn't work. If you need further help, let me know...
