A lot of people have found that doing a fresh install of a later version of Mandrake tends to save a lot of system stabillity issues. If you made a seperate /home partition, you should be able to safely format all of your other partitions and still retain most of your personal information and settings. However any extra programs (non Mandrake) will need to be reinstalled (because you formatted the drive) and maybe other people have some persepctive/experience with any settings that may need to be reset. -Paul Rodríguez 17 Sep 2001 10:57:47 -0500, Matt Greer wrote: > on 9/17/01 10:20 AM, Tom Brinkman at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > but I'd recommend switching to a journaling FS ASAP.
