hi,

thankfully i have /home on a different partition and i have copied /etc and /usr/src ( carious kernel sources ) there.

so the question is can i just "chown" over my home after reinstalling the new RH9 fs. or is there anything else. i have ot look out for ??

what u say would work when u add a user n change the ownership of the home directory.

Alos it depends on the file system RH9 is using..ifor eg..,f in RH9 u use ext3 or resierfs n if ur RH7 uses ext2..then i think that would not work out..anyway chk out for the filesystem issues also..
