Re: Re-install Fedora without destroying user data

Hi Dave
as far as possible I do the installation(s) using a kickstart file. It is not possible, when you install from a Live CD.
My disk-partitionning in the kickstasrt file looks like:


# System bootloader configuration
bootloader --location=mbr --boot-drive=nvme0n1
# Partition clearing information
clearpart --none --initlabel
# Disk partitioning information
part swap --fstype="swap" --onpart=nvme0n1p3
part /home --fstype="ext4" --onpart=nvme0n1p4 --noformat
part / --fstype="ext4" --onpart=nvme0n1p2
part /boot/efi --fstype="vfat" --onpart=nvme0n1p1

On a default Fedora installation with a sufficiently large disk, /home
is a separate filesystem and should not contain any required system
files. Thus it ought to be possible to completely re-install Fedora,
the same version as was previously installed, without
over-writing /home. I'd like to do this with kickstart, if possible.
I think Anaconda offers enough options but I find the documentation a
bit confusing for this purpose. Is anyone aware of an online
reference describing how to do this?

I install new versions from the standard distributions with no
problems. Just be careful that none of the partitions that you wish to
preserve are not marked for formatting in Anaconda.
