I have a fairly new install of Mandrake 8.2. If (when) I decide to upgrade to
9.0 what should I or can I save? Is it easier to start from scratch or can I
save what is in my /home directory? I'm just not sure if eveything in /home
would be compatible with whatever would be installed during an
I save from 8.2?

I prefer to find everything on the entire install that I want to keep,
including home, any config stuff and whatever else.. and put the lot in its
own directory... (say /backup)
Then tar that directory up...:
tar -zcvvf backup.tar.gz
