Probably a stupid question, but I have to ask... Currently, I have RH 8.0 on my laptop, an IBM ThinkPad T23 (I've had RH 8.0 on since early October). It's been great, but I simply cannot resist the temptation of trying something new. :) I want to install RH 9, but I refuse to do upgrades on an existing system, so I want to do a clean install. However, I would like to keep my data. My partitions are set up like this: hda1: /boot, 100MB hda2: /, about 9.9GB hda3: /home, about 30GB (There is no swap. I have 1GB of RAM, and regardless of whether it was a good idea or not to not include swap, that was what I did. I could always set up a swap file, I guess...) Like any good Linux user, I have the root account only for administrative purposes, and a separate user account for my data (call it user). The home directory is, of course, /home/user. The question is this: if I do a clean install of RH 9, reformatting the /boot and / partition, and created the same account user, will I still be able to access my data in /home/user?
