Since most of the configuration required on typical Linux systems is
stored in text files, and since many of us often find ourselves
re-installing, remember that you can save all your config files and
re-use them many times over.
In many cases, config files can be used across several versions of the
same distro (ie; ML 10.1, 2005 LE and 2006)with little or no changes at
all and either way can save a lot of time.
How do we do this please?
As a side note, it's probably a good idea to copy your entire /home
folder to an alternate location for safe storage. backups are all fine
and well, but when you're trying to retrieve a one or two files, having
a regular copy is always a fast method.
Again - how is this done please?
HTH's for any newbie's who might find it handy.
Thanks
