Hi Daniel, Sorry, let me explain my "over the top of" :)
My HDD is partitioned into three: a root (/) partition, a /home partition and swap. So what I am doing is telling the installer to format my root partition and leave the /home unformatted but mounted as /home. Make more sense? I prefer to do a clean install keeping my home directory, but I am considering the upgrade method. As for a clean install, although I have a good backup method, it will still take effort :) Thanks, ~Stephen On Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 11:27 AM, danyJ <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, 3 Feb 2012 09:02:34 +1100 > Stephen Rees-Carter <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Stephen, > > Not sure what you mean by installing "over the top of 11.10"?
