Checklist - what to protect?
I want to do away with everything in my Mandrake 9.2 hard drive partition while saving everything in my /var/video partition which holds the ~100GB of accumulated video files. At a minimum, I need to make sure I have the following:
A backup of my database; from the MythTV instructions, I need to make sure I do the following, and that I save the file in the right place.
mysqldump -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg -c > mythtv_backup.sql
From the myth point of view, I think that may be it.
I will pick up a new client for distributed.net once the conversion is over.
I will install the newest version of Mozilla Firefox once I install Mandrake 10.0.
I will install the newest version of ntp.
I will copy al lthe contents of /etc/samba.
I will copy my XF86Config-4 file.
