Hi all,

I have my system just right, but I have to do a full reinstall to fix a
library problem that won't go away.  I want this to be as clean as possible,
but I hate the idea of losing all my little configurations.  Is there a
strategy to install and restore as many of these as possible?  Note: I will
probably reformat just for good measure.  Can I just restore /home and merge
/etc afterwards to get most of the configuration back?

thanks,

Jonathon
