Hi,
I am preparing to upgrade from fc2 to fc3 and have made a backup of my
/home directory.
Are there other directories or files that should be copied before I
upgrade?
Will the upgrade option give me a complete installation or will it only
upgrade files and modules already installed?
If I do a complete new installation will it be sufficient to install
additional programs such as gramps, thunderbird and firefox and then
copy the content of /home back to the hd to make it all work with data,
bookmarks and stored mail?
Any thing else I should be aware of in order to restore my pc with fc3
without too much trouble?
Thanks,
Truls Gulbrandsen

I generally backup /home/, /etc/, /var/, /usr/local/, and /boot/ that
way worst case I can always get right back to what I had. Of course if
the new install works I don't recovers every partition.
