Better way to install/upgrade?

[Eugene Cormier]

Geo, what I do is I reinstall the OS with a new home directory and then
in your home directory view hidden files (ctrl+h) and copy any folders
that I want to save settings to....for example the .mozilla folder will
keep everything to do with firefox

and using the partition scheme you talk about will keep all your
settings


cheers
Eugene
