Here's the checklist I have so far: 1 - /home partition - separate drive 2 - Files copied to the second drive: /etc/X11/xorg.conf rpm for RPM forge /etc/yum - entire folder /etc/yum/repos.d - entire folder /etc/yum.conf /etc/yumex.conf /etc/yumex.profiles.conf 3 - Files installed via Yum(ex) - Hmmm, need to figure this one out. Any pointers?
Sounds like the rpm --setugids didn't work?
Did you have any /usr/local applications installed?
You can use rpm --verify along with it's options to find config files that have been modified from their defaults and copy those over.
The next install should set all the /etc/X11 stuff for you, no need to copy it.
You only really need the rpmforge repo def in /etc/yum.repos.d unless you have a lot of excludes defined in yum.conf.
