Would some kind person give me a simple, step-by-step How To in response to this question:
I'm running Gutsy and would like change up to Hardy. But I'd like to keep my Home directory. Starting from Manual how do I divide up the partitions in order to do so.
Currently, my System Monitor shows I have:
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 fuseblk
/dev/sda2 / ext3
/dev/sda3 /home ext3
sda 1 is my XP.
The size of the partitions is immaterial. I'm happy with the way they are now.
I am not going to attempt an upgrade having tried it once and, like a lot of people, had the process freeze. So I'm going to download, burn a CD and do a proper install.
Thanks in advance.
