Does a new install of 10.0 destroy my /home directory?
I am attempting to upgrade from 9.1 to 10.0, using the 5 x CD downloaded ISO set.
It gets half-way through CD1... about 350 packages to go... and then starts giving a series of "package not found" errors from there on.
The CD verifies fine.
If I restart it gets to about the same point (but not exactly the same point) and then fails again.
I'm tempted to ask it to do a clean install, as there isn't much on my old installation that I can't recreate easily... except a large quantity of data files in my /home directory. Will it leave this untouched?
Or should I burn a DVD (when my burner arrives via mail order) and try that instead?
