Rather than a pointless ramble about an unrelated process for a completely unrelated distro, I'll offer something useful: if you can be at Slug tomorrow night, I'll have an ubuntu livecd for you (if you want - you may well be able to make your own much faster ;)
A livecd should be able to mount the partitions, and assuming you've got your data on a different partition from the rest of the OS, should be fairly painless to re-install without losing any data. On 21/01/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

What I've done is copied the / filesystem onto a directory under my home directory, and then I'll re-install from CD. At least that way I can compare configuration files that I've done against the default ones. I'm currently tossing up though installing a different distro after this disastrous experience with Debian/Ubuntu's upgrade system. The whole reason for trying it was the idea that it's upgrade system was good. apt on FC5 or SuSE 10 might be a better choice, I'm thinking. luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
