If your home folder is allocated in its own partition, then no problem. Choose "Custom allocation" on the install, label the partition, but don't format it. Otherwise, on your new install, put it in its won partition, and you won't be troubled again. In this case, keep in mind that re-sizing a partition is probably not practical. Keep in mind that you should backup your home folder even if you don't intend to restore it. Otherwise, there lies madness. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
