I have multiple ubuntu systems under my care running an older version which need to be upgraded to 10.04 rather quickly and the easiest way I could figure out to do this was with an automated live CD.
The initial partitioning method I used was as follows
sda1 as / - 20gb - ext4
sda2 as /home - the remaining space - ext4
sda3 as swap - 4gb
So I'm trying to build this live cd with pre-seeding which will install ubuntu 10.04 to the appropriate partitions, but retain the home directories of my users. However I'm pretty sure that this is not possible according to some of the documentation I have read, but I'm not 100% on this so could someone please tell me once and for all if it is or is not.
Thank you in advance.
