I'd advise against it. Fedora is not guaranteed to work even doing an upgrade from one version to the next (I've done it but frequently I find myself doing a fresh install after a while). </blockquote> <div> Exactly, I did knew that, I just one a confirmation :-) </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">It's almost certainly easier to back up your user data (/home, /etc, /usr/local, ...) and install from scratch. Take a list of your RPMs as well ('rpm -qa --last > LIST') just in case.</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> poc</blockquote><div> The problem here is that the /home/user I want to keep is 16GB, so it's going to be a pain to trasnfer it. I blame myself for not creating the partion when I installed the system Any other advice? Thank you very very much C </div> </div>
