Yes indeed. I should have thought of that, as I have always used a
separate /home partition.
So that makes the idea workable, without any security risks associated
with a remote server.
For the first release, at least, Mageia will be generally following
Mandriva defaults.
And upgrades will be possible from Mandriva to Mageia.
But it is much easier to upgrade instead of doing a fresh install,
that will
keep all your installed programs (except for conflicts) and your system
configuration.
Exactly. Also much faster.
But there are times where a clean install is advisable.
As a personal note, I don't like the idea of a daemon that would
register
what I do with my computer.
Neither do I. Security and privacy risks.

There is a tool named "recoverdrake" from the guys of www.blogdrake.net.
it is something like that, just for one detail, work in the same version
of the distro not from olversion==>new version
in this way you can "record" everything and reproduce in a fresh install.
maybe that could be modify to work with.
