I want to upgrade my pc running suse 9.1 while keeping the user accounts. By upgrading I mean a fresh install on the / partition and keeping the user partition. just keep /etc/passwd. /etc/shadow and homes ;-)
Hi, STOP! What about /etc/group? And if you just copy the old passwd file, you will loose all changed system users!
But if you have some more space do a backup of whole /etc/.
Do a full backup.
