Hi All

On the Ubuntu 7.10 installer there is an option to import user
profiles (Linux only I presume) is that only able to import Ubuntu
profiles or will it import say a Red Hat profile?

I installed on a 'Master' HDD but when I plugged the openSUSE HDD back
in the system threw a fit (I know why, two masters Doh), I changed the
Ubuntu HDD to 'Slave' but then got "Cannot mount partition" so I
plonked the CD in and started the install again that's when I saw the
'import' message. (Note to self: Don't just hit next, next, next read
what it says)

I was hoping it would pick up the original install but then of course
it wouldn't as the partitioner runs 1st so there was nothing to find!
anyway it got me thinking if it does import /home/yourname from any OS
that's pretty cool if your thinking of moving to another distro or
running a dual boot system.

Anyone know cos Jono don't :-D

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for
intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release
System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a
snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a
fresh install the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
