Re: [Trisquel-users] How to Install Trisquel 6.0
When upgrading to a new release, I've always done as suggested in #6. Allow the installer to format '/'; mount your old '/home' (do not allow formatting), and mount the old swap. When your new system comes up, you'll see all your users' files. Be sure to use the same username, in the new install, as you have in 5.5.

I forgot to mention using the same username, good thing you brought it up!
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to Install Trisquel 6.0
Trisquel 5.5, brigantia The update manager won't update to the newest version. Is there a setting there that I'm missing? It is the first place I went to update to version 6
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to Install Trisquel 6.0
What sources do you use? If you have the 6.0 on a USB stick, you could of course just install it. Just make sure you choose manual partitioning and choose to NOT format your existing home partition. (Then again, even this won't be a problem since by now you surely have a backup! :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to Install Trisquel 6.0
thanks for your reply. So i just plug-in the usb and then follow the prompt to install version 6 on my computer? your help is much appreciated!
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to Install Trisquel 6.0
That's right. And at partitioning choose the old root (/) for root and select to format it and choose the old home for home and DON'T format it and the old swap for swap.
