Backup data for new install

[yoramdavid]

Hello all,

I am having many problems with my ubuntu 11.10, did a backup which helped with some problems but brought others.
I am where I cannot download programs too big in MB.

I do have a pen-drive with Ubuntu 10.04 installation.
If my Ubuntu stops responding at all and I do a fresh install of 10.04, can I make a backup of all the installed programs to use later on 10.04?
And all my settings such as firefox plugins, addons, Thunderbird?

Thank you,

Yoram

If you wish to attempt a fix for your 11.10 problem, open a terminal and

sudo apt-get update

and post any errors.

There must be a hundred ways to backup

But sounds like you may be a good candidate for a separate home folder

Thank you jerrrys,

I will post the results of the above comman when it finishes (it always takes a long time, when it reaches 99%[waiting for headers])
M question was more about can I backup my installed programs in ubuntu 11.10 and then use them in Ubuntu 10.04?
