Hi,
UPS says my 9.2 upgrade box will arrive today. That's cool..
I'm wondering if there's a way to do what is basically a clean install to a currently empty partition while copying configuration information from an existing installation. The intention is to leave my existing installation untouched but to create a new installation that is like an updated form of my existing installation.
Yep. You sure can. I'm assuming that your empty partition is big enough to hold the new install. It will even pick up the old partitions and you can make them bootable if you need to drop back. The upgrade version is the full version less one of the books. Installs just like the full version. Then at your leasure copy the configs that you want, along with any settings from your old home directory, and away you go. Have fun.. It's a nice update, even with the niggles some folks are having with the DVD.
