I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.1 with netbook remix and there is now a minor problem with the windows in all apps as a result of what I believe is a bug in one of the remix components. I've filed a bug report for that component (Desktop-switcher), but would like to get my system back to the way it was right away. So here is my question. Can I save my /home folder, then wipe my Ubuntu Hardy volume on my laptop, reinstall Hardy from scratch and THEN, replace my old /home file (in place of the one created by the new installation)? Could replacing the entire /home file cause some instability; e.g. because some of the Hardy files may have changed? Is there a better procedure or a way to make sure it's OK before replacing?
