I am getting the urge to replace my HDD on this machine - which is a dual boot Fedora Core 1 and Windows XP.
The last time I did this I merely migrated all the files to the new (current) HDD using linux commands that I read up on the net and cannot recall now. The Windows copy was particularly sweet - the OS did not even know that it was sitting somewhere else and booted first time. This time I need to install a different version of Linux - or Fedora < higher number > because I need new features currently absent from this installation. But I want all my files intact. So how do I do that? Can my kmail archives survive a change to Ubuntu or something? What Linux should I install (for a user who is more dumb than smart). shiv
