thanks,

I will give it a go when 8 comes out,

I am a backup freak, i have to much photos to loose, I have a 100gig ext 1000ext 320gig pc and a 160gig laptop and i backup to DVDS

It is 8 in the morning here

thanks again

so that means, if I do it like that, my 8 will look like my 7 without me customizing it

thats cool

DO NOT copy the configuration over. Especially if you're using KDE. Trust me. I've had plenty of installs f*** up due to that. Here's how I do it:


1) Boot live CD

2) Go into old ~

3) Type: for f in .[^.]*; do mv $f ${f}_backup; done

4) Install distro, keeping home directory and users the same

5) ???

6) Profit!
