When I installed FC4, I tried to partition several file systems but failed. The artitioner didn't let me do it so I let it do what it wanted... I have now one LVM. So... you are saying that if I backup /home, do a fresh install and restore the /home backup I should be OK? I'll lose those in /etc (e.g., php.ini) and also my httpd.conf. How about my ADSL config? I think I'll buy another disk (although my current 250GB should have been enough for the next few years for a dual-boot) provided that the installer supports a /dev/sdb (saw some notes that there are problems there). Albert P.S. Why are things always moved around? I am going crazy enough between my home FC4, my production server SUSE 9 end test server SUSE 10...
