package manager should provide a way to pack the
settings/configuration of the installed applications that are stored in
the os partition(call it first partition). After installing a newer version
in the first partition, package manager should restore the settings of
all user applications in the os/first partition. This removes the need
for installing all user applications every time os is installed. It is better
if
you make the upgrade/new version installation does not affect
existing installed user applicaions or their settings irrespective
whether they are installed in the os installation partition or different
partition. I think it is a dream functionality. I am just asking. I don't know
about technically feasibility?
I setup my system with 3 partitions for windows. one is windows
installation partition. second partition for installing my non-operating-system
applications. I don't like those user applications which did not ask me
about the installation directory. I use third partition for storing my
data created using these applications.
