Well I suggest you to copy '/root' and '/etc' ( there will be all your configuration files) directories to some other place. If you have your kernel recompiled so save '/boot/vmlinuz'. Save '/lib/modules'. Well that should be almost everything, if someone have another ideas plz

do a "ls -a" in your home directory to see your 'hidden' files. then do a backup on all the directories with a dot (period sign) in front of them.

for example,
.micq
.mailcap
.xinitrc
.mozilla

etc etc.

after u reformat, just copy these files into your home directory again. that should do the trick.
