upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 with encrypted home


Hi there !
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 with encrypted home (the standard Ubuntu way) and now I want to upgrade to 11.10.

What should I do relating $HOME?

Is is automatically done or do I risk to mess things up?

Thanks

Hello,

You can safely upgrade, while telling ubuntu not to touch your home directory, especially if you have your home directory on its own partition. How do you have it currently set up?

Cheers,

Josh
