I am working on an emc2 2.4 system that was installed with Ubuntu 10.04, 
but a distribution upgrade to 10.10 was done by mistake about 6 months 
ago. Emc2 is working fine but updates are not since 10.10 isn't 
supported in the linuxcnc.org repository.

I plan to reinstall. I'll do a complete backup of the file system first, 
and I can handle settings like host name, user names, passwords, etc. My 
plan is to restore the home directory from backup after reinstalling.

Is there anything else that would need to be restored, assuming this is 
probably a pretty plain vanilla installation?

My reasons for the reinstall are 1) To get updates to work again, 2) Any 
kernel updates will require setting grub to use the RT kernel, 3) In the 
future this machine may be administered by people with little Linux 
experience and I'd like updates to go as smoothly as possible.

Thanks for any advice.

Karl
