Recently I had a system crash that wiped out my LM7.2 desktop completely (the one with the cartoon penguins) and left me with only standard KDE -- which is okay, I guess, but I really want the other one back. After trying and failing to get help both here and via the "MandrakeExpert" feature of the LM website, I've decided to just bite the bullet and reinstall the OS. I have /home as a separate partition, so I don't think any of my users' (me and my SO actually) stuff will get blown away, but: Is there anything like a canonical list of files one should save before reinstalling? I'm thinking of stuff like /etc/ passwd, rc.local, etc. I can come up with a few of these myself without too much thought, but I bet one or two of you out there have already faced this problem and might have something to say about it.... Anything else I should keep in mind? Thanks! Mark Shaw
