Up to and including 11.1-x86-64 I have always installed a new suse version in
a clean partition, but I also used a fresh copy of my old /home dir.
This appears to cause some sporadic problems to some, i never experienced any
myself, but then again I have not used kde4, i am still with 3, my trusty old
dinosaur. but that will change in the not too distant future, so i ask:
what is the consensus these days on /home? if the recommendation is to start
with a fresh /home, how does one transfer things like kmail, addressbook and
organizer/contact content and a host of other shtuff accumulated over time?
is there a recommended list of transferrables and/or transfer proceedures?
how about a "must start from scratch" list?
