How is 8.10 working for you? It is optional. If everything is set up fine, then it is a harder decision. Try the live cd and see what problems, if any, you have. If you have problems, then upon install you will have those problems, if any exist.


2. I have the home in a separate hard drive i know to not reformat the /home,,,,, but do i reformat the / or not???

if you have a separate /home, then do not reformat it. Just make sure the mount is set to /home. You only need to reformat the root (/) partition; 8.10 will be erased and 9.04 will be put on in its place.
