I want to install 7.0 replacing an existing 6.5 installation.
When I choose custom partitioning I can delete the old 6.5 partitions and create new partitions 7.0 but there doesn't appear to be any way to retain an existing partition, say /home for instance, over the installation.
Am I just missing something obvious or any ideas on what the magic is.
Hi Tony
Did you receive an answer to your question ? I didn't see anything on the list ! I'm interested too.
Thank you
No but I sorted it out myself. I just took a chance, it was on a test server anyway ;-)
In the disk partitioning screen you will see the old 6.5 installation. Clicking on it will bring up the existing 6.5 partitions. Then select each of the existing partitions and a configuration menu comes up which allows you to reformat the partition if required. So just don't reformat the partitions you want to keep .They then become part of the new 7.0 installation.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Tony
