| BugeyeD | hi all, recommendation requested ... in-laws are currently running 9.10 ... i'm about to take to them a newer computer and want to give them 11.04. how do i best retain their "stuff" ? | 18:22 |
| BugeyeD | two options are to simply install new and copy over their entire home directories. but i worry that if i don't upgrade in-place their home directory / settings / preferences will not correctly be updated for 11.04 ... anyone? | 18:22 |
| holstein | BugeyeD: i say, plan for the worst, and do what you think is best | 18:39 |
| holstein | i would backup the /home, and anything else they might want | 18:39 |
| holstein | settings wont matter to much, as far as look and feel | 18:39 |
| holstein | i still *hate* doing an upgrade in place | 18:39 |
| holstein | takes so long... | 18:39 |
| holstein | should work fine though | 18:39 |
| BugeyeD | original plan was a fresh install (new hardware anyway) then copying over the entire home directory. just worried that the upgrade would have made changes to /home that would be missed otherwise. | 18:50 |
