[01:00] <srp> hey people
[01:00] <srp> not sure this is the right place to ask
[01:01] <srp> I'm currently running DreamStudio (based on Ubuntu 12.04)
[01:01] <srp> and lately have been running into regular crashes
[01:01] <srp> Since DreamStudio is no longer updated, I'm considering UbuntuStudio as a replacement for a fresh install
[01:02] <srp> most of the software in the bundle are already my long-term acquaintances... 
[01:02] <srp> however, I have a partitioned hard drive (system in /dev/sda1 and home in /dev/sda5)
[01:02] <srp> any special instructions before I take the leap?
[01:44] <OvenWerks> srp: I shouldn't think so. Install on sda1 and mount sda5 on home. You may wish to move your own home directory to another name till the system is set up, then delete the one created at install and move your's back. You may have to chown your own directory again if the new system gives you a different user number than your old one.
[01:46] <OvenWerks> You would select the "Something else" install option and don't format sda5 whatever you do :)
[01:53] <srp> OvenWerks, thanks. How exactly do I move it to another name? 
[01:54] <srp> just mv /home /somewhereelse?
[02:00] <OvenWerks> srp: you can't move home as the system will create another. I meant mv /home/user /home/user.bac or something.
[02:01] <OvenWerks> Do you have more than one user?
[22:26] <srp> sorry I left without warning
[22:26] <srp> OvenWerks, no, just one
[22:26] <srp> I see what you mean now
