Fresh install over old installation

[Leo Noordhuizen]

Hello,

I want to upgrade to UBUNTU 11.04, but face a dilemma: Either format all
existing partitions, or keep some as is and install on top of them.
My configuration is as follows:

/  -  10 Gbyte
/boot  -  500 Mbyte
/home - 250 Gbyte (of course not going to reformat this one)
/var - 50 Gbyte (hardly used)
/usr  -  30 Gbyte

I have quite a few of additional applications installed.

So the question is should I reformat /, /boot, /var and /usr during the
install ? And what are the most important consequences if I do and if I dont
?

Thanks,

Leo Noordhuizen - Netherlands
