They shouldn't cause a > problem correct? Hi Poohba, Depending on how you configured it, you may still be able to use your Apache config -- or not. Because FC5 uses version 2.2 now, not 2.0.x. Samba may be a problem if you are connecting to a domain, but you'll have to try it for yourself. I can't say anything about VNC because I have never used it on Linux, and FTP is another unknown because I have never run anything except anonymous FTP using vsftpd. > What else would I possible want to keep? > > [10:43:50 root@~]df -h > Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on > /dev/hda1 117G 108G 3.6G 97% / > none 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm > /dev/hda3 9.7G 7.0G 2.3G 76% /home > /dev/hdb1 115G 108G 1.2G 99% /mnt/Music > /dev/hdb2 115G 101G 8.0G 93% /mnt/Video > /dev/hda2 20G 3.2G 16G 18% /usr/local > You may want to move your music and videos out of /mnt to someplace else -- like an external USB hard disk. Actually, why do you even have directories with data in /mnt? Although it is possible to use /mnt as a normal directory, I normally use it only for mount points to removable storage -- but, hey, whatever floats your boat. External hard disks are very good investments, in my view. You may want to consider buying one for yourself. I have one hard disk that stores the whole DVD for FC5, updates and extras, just in case I need to go to the data center to update something, or to do a emergency kickstart install. > Can I keep /mnt... and /home when I do the fresh install?

An external hard disk may be a good idea! 250GB should do the trick. > > -- Pascal Chong email: chongym@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://cymulacrum.net pgp: http://cymulacrum.net/pgp/cymulacrum.asc "La science ne connaît pas de frontière parce que la connaissance appartient à l’humanité. et que c’est la flamme qui illumine le monde." -- Louis Pasteur
