I think my explanation was too obscure to be understood. I'll try to
make it better:
I have three partitions in my hard disk:
sda1 for /
sda5 for swap
sda6 for /home
I had some problems with my system and decided to reinstall it, but
preserving my /home data and some config files, so before starting the
installation process I did:
sudo cp -r /etc /home
to make a copy of the /etc folder and preserve all my configuration
files. Then I booted the Gutsy Live-CD (7.10) and chose sda1 for /
(formating it), sda5 for swap, and sda6 as /home (not formating, of
course). The installation started fine (but never asked me to migrate
old accounts), but when it reached 92% it failed: the window just
dissapeared.
I tried it again putting sda6 in other points, not mounting it... but
always failed in the same point. (The installer mounted it always, even
when I specified to not mount it). Then I tried with Feisty (7.04) and
it failed again, but just after the partitioning section. But 6.10
worked fine.
Finally I found that the problem was the copied /etc folder in /home
(sda6). It had root as owner and group. When I moved it into the
account's folder, the Gutsy installation worked fine, even asking me if
I want to migrate the account folder.
Hope that now the problem is more clear.
