Hello all, I thought to be smart, but bit myself in the nose.
I intend to go for Mdk 9.1 when it comes available. I remembered that the best thing to do is format / and /usr at least, to make the setup as clean as possible. Of course, one would leave /home alone. I have separate partitions for / /var /usr /home But I think that in /etc there are a lot of settings and such (like /etc/postfix), so I stuck that in a separate partition. Which is where things went sour after a reboot. The new /etc (/dev/hdf2) could not be unmounted, and after reboot it could not be found when the system went looking for /etc/inittab. Luckily CD1 and rescue mode were nice enough to help me get things up and running again. Is there no easy way to preserve all kinds of settings and configs from /etc other than selecting and backing up files by hand? (Damn, I am getting more lazy with Linux than winblows ever had me!)
