phunni Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 When I finally get it all downloaded I plan on taking the "clean re-install, just don't format my /home" route. With 9.0 and previous this required installing in expert mode. I read something somewhere about being able to jump into expert mode at any point with the 9.1 installer, which would mean only having to do that bit (and maybe a couple of other) in expert mode - is this true?

Guest ndeb Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Make sure you use "existing partitions". In fact for this you do not need any expert mode (since you are not creating any partitions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 phuni, I would suggest trying the upgrade. I did that during the 9.1 RC1 release (from 9.0) and it worked famously. If it doesn't work, then you can do a clean install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesea Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 you should definitely try the upgrade. i did it yesterday afternoon and so far everything seems ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 I did the usual install route without formating /home, which always works well. I admit that I was too chicken to try the upgrade, having had a disaster in the past. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
