Hello,

I need to reinstall my laptop with Ubuntu and Vista, as Vista is crashing on shutdown. I have a lot of configuration settings on my Ubuntu partition that I would live to migrate. 8.10 is nearly released, so I should probably wait and a fresh install of Ubuntu as well to avoid risking those upgrade glitches. So my question is, are there any migration tools that I can use to make a backup of my config, or do I just write them all down and manually enter it all into 8.10.

Thanks,
Kim
