The subject line says it all. I have an old RH8 server that I'd like to upgrade to FC3; trouble is, said server has about 10GB of music files sitting on the /home partition of hda. My thought is to pop in a second hard drive, mount it and copy all of the files in the /home partition to /dev/hdab, then wipe out hda and install FC3 fresh.
Before I embark on this, though, I need to know if this is a stupid plan. I know that simply popping in the FC3 disks and trying to do an upgrade is bound to be problematic.
That does sound reasonable.
If I were you, I would disconnect the second drive while doing the FC3 clean install just to avoid accidents.
