Backing up before a reinstall
Have been running Ubuntu 7.04 for the last 9 months or so, and it has been a fairly pleasant experience though not without its head-rubbing, hair-pulling technical nightmares.
To cut the long story short, I`ve destroyed X and after dabbling with many solutions i've not been able to fix it.... Please dont offer ideas for fixing X, ive tried a few and im bored. So i'm looking at a re-install, and i wanna try a new distro ==== i'm going for PCLOS ===
How can i install PCLOS and maintain my entire HOME directory intact? i have a 80 Gig partition for my Ubuntu Home directory, but i when i run the PCLOS installer its starts talking about formating that partition and i get all nervous and abort. Ideally i want PCLOS to basically take over from ubuntu and use that Home directory as its own.
Thanks Joe
Ps... i obviously am going to back up everything important first.
PPS.... i realise that my subject isnt exactly accurate.. i ended up asking a different question to the one i had originally planned.
