I wanna make a /data partition to house all the stuff that I currently keep in /home, so that I can blow away my /home for the 10.1 installation. I don't want to have any lingering config or profile stuff that might conflict in any way with the new install, so I'd format even /home. So tell me... does this sound like the simplest strategy: 1) Back up everything useful (of course) 2) Plug in the 10.1 DVD and start installing. 3) When I get the option to partition, I just change the mount name of my current /home to /data 4) Allocate the rest of the drives in whatever way seems pleasing, but carve off a small corner of one to become the new /home. 5) Everything except /home-renamed-to-/data gets formatted Reiserfs. 6) Finish up the rest of the installation and enjoy unadulterated 10.1 setup with no held-over baggage. Unless I'm overlooking something, that seems like less trouble than logging in at run-level 3 and re-partitioning before doing the Install. Am I overlooking something? Is any of this a bad idea?
