This raises a couple of questions.
(1) Must one reformat all the ext2 partitions?
If you have any kind of extensive home directory that could be a pain. ON
the other hand if your /home is on a different partition I can certainly see
the benefit of formatting all BUT /home. It would get a rid of a lot of
detritus that could trip you up later I suppose. Of course there you would
also lose any optional installed packages and that could be a pain.
(2) When Mandrake 7.2 comes out, what will be the best way to *upgrade* (not
replace) Mandrake 7.1? I started with 7.1 on a clean disk and now I don't
remember if there was an "upgrade" choice.
