Hi,
When re-installing with the same usernames on a system with two partitions, one for / and the other for /home, I got an error that there was already a directory $username on the target partition for /home. I had to manually run mke2fs to override this from the terminal.
Aptosid looks really good though, I'm glad Sidux survived. |

| I keep root home and data on a separate partitions. When I do a reinstall I backup home to data then rebuild the root and home partitions, install, then restore the backup to home. Its better to have cli for this... no matter how much I trust a script I want to have fine grain control over such a situation. I've found having the separate data partition very usefull. |
