Hello, easy way: get a rescue floppy distribution (you can find it at http://hysteria.sk/catcher at left bottom of left side :>). Boot the minidistro, then # mkdir /mnt/linux # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/linux # cd /mnt/linux # mkdir backup (copy everything you want to keep into this directory) (then remove all directories from /mnt/linux except backup directory) After this just make a clean 10.0 install and, of course, DO NOT FORGET NOT TO FORMAT YOUR EXT3 PARTITION WITHIN THE INSTALL PROCESS!!!!!!!!

I am currently running 9.1 but quite a few things don´t work propely so I sha;; make a clean install. I would like to keep my Home. I am always a bit confused when it come to define about mnt points and sizes. I have a 40G memory drive and only run Mandrake so I don´t want to muck things up because I shall not be able to get in touch with you if things go bad. I am a home user who only want a system to work, nothing fancy so if you have any suggestions....TIA Maryse ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > ____________________________________________________ > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com > Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com > ____________________________________________________ >
