Thread: Upgrade question


hi forum guru's:

first installed jaunty free cd 9.04, love it, absolutely rock solid, worked perfectly, no challenge @ all. downloaded karmic on machine, @ stage not going system tester, challenges there me learn ubuntu. started out 32 bit , after reading forums decided explore 64 bit in spite of driver issues, has been fun. enough babble, question: after few fresh installs started place /home file on separate hard drive. want upgrade 32 bit jaunty machine 64bit karmic , karmic machine lynx 64bit how effect /home folder? backup, should format /home , install fresh? advice here appreciated. anyway fun. without forums struggling, great job million.

you can leave /home if prefer. when ext4 came out many users weren't comfortable (and still aren't) , kept /home partition formatted ext3 while running / ext4. sure don't format /home when upgrade/install.

i've had no problems ext4 still keep backups on ext3 partition.
