You have kde the way you want it. You have a lot of data in /home. Now along comes 9.0 If you have a separate /home, you install 9.0 without formatting /home If you have everything in / then you use "Upgrade" and cross your fingers, or you use "upgrade packages only" and ponder how to change links and add new things from 9.0 Civileme
