First, "." just means "the current directory", so for a program on the
root disk "./private" is the same as "/private".

You can back up all the user directories and then restore them after
a clean install. That's what I'd recommend.

I would also recommend partitioning the drive, with a system partition in
the first 8G and a user partition containing the rest... and a bootable OS
9 install in both partitions. There are scripts on the net for moving
the users to a separate partition.
