To all: I am going to have to soon upgrade from openSuse Linux v13.2 to the newer Leap version. But what I don't know is whether to scrub my /usr, /var, /lib, /bin, /etc and other system partitions and leave my /home partition alone and hope that the installer on the DVD will NOT insist upon repartitioning the disk and set up a newer linux into the new partitions, but will overlay into the already existing partitions.
The current partitions are pretty balanced as to the necessary sizes, including swap. Or I can make a copy of the /home area, then clean the hard drive and install fresh, as openSuse prefers. Is it better to do the 2nd, just copy your own IP, save it, then install fresh and then copy back all your data to /home? Either method, I still have to reinstall my own local programs back into /usr and /etc areas, including the HP printer CUPS program.
