Standard advice, doubtless as good as it is standard; but I've yet to understand how to do it, alas!
I've not tried installing F 18, and I've heard odd things about customizing your partition layout in the newest version of anaconda, but it's never been at all hard in the past. In general, you specify that you're going to create a custom partitioning layout. One of the partitions is mounted at /home. If you're installing Fedora for the first time, you have it formatted; if you're doing a clean install over an old one, you simply select the same partition that you used for /home last time and tell the installer not to format it. Then, when you create your username during firstboot, you use the same one as you did before and tell the program to use the same folder and to leave the contents intact. If all goes as expected, you have all of your old files, your old configuration, your old desktop settings ready to go. If not, there's always the backup.
Also, thanx for expanding the abbreviation; I'd not thought of that one. -- 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?
