 Hi Tony
 
 Did you receive an answer to your question ? I didn't see anything
 on the list ! I'm interested too.
 
 Thank you


No but I sorted it out myself. I just took a chance, it was on a test 
server anyway ;-)

In the disk partitioning screen you will see the old 6.5 installation. 
Clicking on it will bring up the existing 6.5 partitions. Then select 
each of the existing partitions and a configuration menu comes up which 
allows you to reformat the partition if required. So just don't 
reformat the partitions you want to keep .They then become part of the 
new 7.0 installation.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Tony

[CentOS] Upgrade to m7.0 retaining some existing partitions

2014-08-19 Thread Tony Molloy


Hi,

I want to install 7.0 replacing  an existing 6.5 installation.

When I choose custom partitioning I can delete the old 6.5 partitions 
and create new partitions 7.0 but there doesn't appear to be any way 
to retain an existing partition, say /home for instance, over the 
installation.

Am I just missing something obvious or any ideas on what the magic is.

Regards,

Tony
