Hello everyone,
To include an older version release's personal set up of data, preferences, settings, binary and source packages with dependencies, additional repositories, and all else configured; On say Ubuntu 9.10 to a clean install of Ubuntu 10.4, would it be helpful to have the following sub-directories under (/), on separate partitions before hand?
var
home
usr/local
etc
Then, after a manual install of (/) in the new release, bring the previous list of sub-directories forward to it.
Would this save a lot of re-configuration and re-installing on the new release?
Thank you.
