[SWLUG] Changing to a new distro

[Neil Jones]

I am currently using suse 9. I have my disk partitioned so that /home is
on a separate partition.

I am looking to upgrade to another distro. I was possibly thinking of
Fedora 5. 

I have 3 hard disks. One legacy  win98 that I hardly use and 1 linux.
The third is a linux for back up.

Does anyone have any advice they can give me about the following.
How do I, if possible, avoid overwriting the /home partition when I
upgrade? Will this cause problems?

Should I just copy everything onto the 3rd disk, unplug it, and do the
upgrade and then copy my files back?
