This is why I have /home/me/Documents on a separate partition (actually a full separate 300GB drive, sdb, with just one partition, hence sdb1), filled with my stuff. Total overkill, as I have much less than 100GB of stuff, but drives are so cheap. The /home/me part is the part that has all of the .blablabla files and directories. I don't share that between installations or distros. Each installation, say Fedora 15 and Fedora 16, might have different versions of the same programs, so sharing the configuration files would likely be a total mess. Even worse, if you are playing with a couple of different distros. I have played around with various methods over the years, but I like to make it as easy as possible for me to move to a new system. Having a /home/me/Documents in each system would mean I would have to copy my stuff over to the new system, or risk it getting overwritten when I'm creating my partion layout. I have never used lvm or anaconda's automatic partitioning. I always use a custom partitioning (the bottom choice, I believe), so that I know that my old system and my data are safe and untouched. This is how I do it. You might find a different scheme works better for you. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
