1. Install 4image
2. create categories using the control-panel
3. Copy the pictures into the folders that correspond to the categories.
(can be determined by 'hovering' the mouse pointer over the category listing in the category creation window)

- Ask questions as you go along to drill into the processes in more detail.

I suspect you're hoping for an automated tool to convert coppermine->4homepages.  AFAIK there is no such animal. 
- as that would require the makers of 4homepages to reverse engineer coppermine.  I suspect they have better uses for their time.

Good Luck.
Frank.

I try to it somehow. Heavy, what nobody discovered for an automated tool to convert coppermine->4homepages. In other boards like phpBB is a lot of convert tool to other board systems, so I thought what 4homepages is not exceptions.

Fank`s for answer, fpatton.

yeah, but they only do the database convertion, there is no files needs to be copied.
Galleries are much more complicated in that metter. Automated tools most probably will not work on every system, because it would be a server's resources consuming copy/move large amount of files from one directory to another, and querying database for each file independently...
