Hi

Because of a bad CD-ROM drive, my attempted installation of Panther failed, while corrupting OSX 10.2 as well. Applecare took my Powerbook, reinstalled the CD-ROM drive and erased my hard drive, putting OSX10.2 back on it.

Luckily I had backed up my Users folder and the System's "Library" to another computer.

Following instructions from Apple's website I reinstalled my two former User files. It required accessing the root, and for the most part, the reinstallation worked well: my files, my Favorites websites, keychain, preferences, all seem intact.

The only things missing are my Locations and the relevant internet connection settings. Does anyone know where these are stored? I do have a copy of the main "Library" folder (not just the one for my User), but I don't know where to look, or if it is more hassle and risk than it's worth.

There are some network configuration files inside the (main) /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder. I'm not so familiar with them, but you could try backing up the new files from that directory, then drag the old ones in there and restart.

If you want to look at the preferences files, just drag them over the TextEdit icon. Then you'll get an idea of what settings are specified in the files.
