That's probably good practice in the sense that any configuration files you retain have to be deliberately moved, such as my .pinerc. In the past I've tried getting the Salix installer to mount the existing /home partition as /home, and create a user with the same name as the existing one. I can't remember just what went wrong, but I don't care to repeat the experience for the mere fun of it. My real motive is laziness - my hard disk gets chock full of music and films, and it would be nice not to have to move them about. I imagine if I did it just as you describe, I wouldn't even have to change the permissions, just
etc.
or even
should leave standard config files alone I suppose, because they will have a more recent time stamp.
Thanks!
