Hi,
I have been using Ubuntu for a while however i don't have an "academic" understanding of Linux in general.
- I'd like to know how to keep configuration gnome or kde or ... files such as desktop police size, desktop panels configuration, icons size... from one cd installation to another. From this document :
https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/directory-tree.html
...i understand a "etc" partition would do the thing (keep desktop configuration files the same from one cd install to another).
For now, I have a separate root, home, boot and usr partition.
If i install Ubuntu with gnome over from a cd, do programs in usr will remain if i don't format it the usr partition I have created? As install takes quite long i don't feel like experimenting it. If someone could tell, it would be really nice.
The Boot hd partition :
I don't know if having this partition would help face for instance installing a new system on a usb flash drive without messing grub configs on hd.
Thanks,
Pascal
