I recently move from knoppix to kanotix, but I think I have a good idea for both.
Ok, here is my request!

When we format and re-install our favourite O.S., we loose all information (so this is a request for HD installing script). I think it will be a good idea (and not a difficult idea I think) to add a way for user to save some configuration files before formatting. This files would be at memory, and after installing the O.S., the script will save original program files by renaming to xxxxx.SAVE and installing the user files (or something like that, like copy user files at a this home directory instead delete original programs files).

The configuration files could be:
fstab
smb.conf
kde configuration
firefox/mozilla/opera/konqueror/... bookmarks
etc

It's NOT easy because we have different programs, but the script could search the most common and add a option to save our favourite files.


Thanks a lot for doing knoppix (and kanotix )

Bye!
