Hi,

Anaconda is great user-friendly installer, but it lacks some less
popular functionality.

When Anaconda is removing Linux partitions and creating new, it should
read some files from that partition.

* /etc/passwd: to see what users were used (optionally setting new
password and permissions for existent /home directory on partition which
is not going to be removed)

* /etc/modprobe.conf: to see what options were enabled

* /etc/modules: to see what modules were autoloaded ie. in Ubuntu

This probably wouldn't be possible for F9's Anaconda, but that changes
will be valuable for next releases too.

...and list of packages that were installed and also their
configurations. Dude, what's the point of reinstalling?

Understand - some people are migrating from one distro to another, or they created very big mess and need to recreate their system.
