I rather choose to have a different partition for /home folders and format only the root partition. I did't have issues with this approach, in the worst case I needed to delete the .kde4 folder. So if you simply copy your data, including .kde4 folder to some place and then copy back it should work. On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 4:18 AM, Mike <mike@chicodawg.com> wrote:
I have an existing 11.3 install of openSUSE. I downloaded and burned the 11.4 DVD.
I would like to do a fresh install of 11.4 rather than an upgrade after reading some forum posts about this. I copied my /home directory to an external drive, including the hidden folders within my home directory.
When I install 11.4 over 11.3, do I just copy the /home directories back to the new install and my Thunderbird and Firefox information will be restored as well? Or copy just the specific (Mozilla...) folders I need from my backup? I'm afraid of losing my Thunderbird account information and Email messages during this process so I want to make sure this is the correct path to take.
I also want to make sure 11.4 installs over the old 11.3 and not one of my other partitions I use for Linux/openSUSE.
