Hello,
I maintain a linux system in my home ( RED HAT LINUX 8.0). There are
three users in the system. There are only three partitions in the
system: /bin, / and /swap. Everybody use the Gnome or KDE desktop
environment and use there own home directory to save their works.
I want to upgrade my system to RED HAT LINUX 9.0. I have decided to
carry on a full installation of RED HAT LINUX 9.0 after formatting the
partitions. Then I will copy the individual home directory of the
users which I regularly backup in CD-R. Will it work ? Will any user
lose their works or his/her settings ?

Thanking you
shamim

Crikey!
Drop in the CDRoms and reboot. You can perform an upgrade and all use
info will be retained, as well as partition configurations.
No need to make extra work for yourself.
