So in theory, iiuc, I should be able to copy /home from each of the problem PCs onto the external drive, do a fresh install on each, and copy its old files back onto it afterward. Does anyone have a favorite how-to-do-it page, comprehensible to a subtechnoid, that will guide me through? My sticking point, oddly enough perhaps, seems to be copying the files off the PCs, especially off #2.
Two things: first, when you do your fresh install, put /home onto its own partition. That way, there's less chance that you'll need that backup after your next upgrade or clean install. (Please note that even though I do that, I never upgrade or install without a backup, Just In Case.) Second, and less important, I know and understand quite a few acronyms, abbreviations and initialisms, but I can't place "iiuc." Were you intending to type "aiui?"
