Hi Guys,
I have a 160gb Hard Drive, I partitioned like this:
1.- First partition 16GB, ext4, mounted / I have my Lucid filesystem on this partition and boot flagged.
2.-Second partition 112GB (extended- 110gb as /home, and 2gb as swap memory)
my disk list:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 1946 15631213+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 1947 15647 110053282+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 1947 2274 2634628+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 2275 15647 107418591 83 Linux
I have my system upgraded from Karmic 9.04(automatic distro upgraded), but I have too many problems with this upgrade, (nvidia video card not working properly, I can't mount my mp3 player(sansa), and another issues with sounds, etc.)
Since I have a separate /home partition, and separate / partition, I would like to do a fresh install of lucid on my first partition (/dev/sda1), thinking of maybe it will fix all my problems with a fresh install from a Lucid CD,
MY QUESTIONS ARE:
1.--If I do a fresh install on /, will I be able to access my home folder on the extended partition?.
2.--If I do a fresh install on /, the Lucid installer will recognise my /home partition,
or will install everything again?. (meaning another home folder), I don't want 2
home folder,
3.-- Am I going to have a permission problems between the fresh install and all my
stuff in /home partition?
Please any advice will be appreciated,
Thanks\\:D/
