BTW, what method did you use to upgrade? Was it something similar to
what was described in that link? I also didn't answer your question it
seems... There is a 10 gig (roughly IIRC) root partition which I expect
can be backed up in the way you suggest. I'd still like to hear
people's experiences with the various upgrade methods though :-)<br>

Is the 300Gb on a separate partition? If so, then you should be able to<br>just backup the root drive. PLEASE NOTE - I am basing this solely off<br>of my experience installing FC4 over FC1. My LVM partition information
<br>was preserved, so all I had to do was remount those drives and all of my<br>data was still there.<br><br>Darren Black wrote:<br><br>> Hi there,<br>><br>> I'm considering upgrading m mythbox to Fedora Core 4. I followed
