hi,
is it possible to go back to an earlier stable version (without loosing
data) from the 9 version or would the 9 version block it?
thanks thanks

You would have to do a fresh install. If you have /home on a separate
partition, you could just leave that in place and don't format it, so you
wouldn't lose your /home data. Again, it would have to be on it's own partition
to do that. I don't recommend downgrading though, perhaps we can straighten out
whatever it is that makes you want to downgrade. :)

An example of a separate home partition....
| Code: | df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 7.1G 3.4G 3.4G 51% /
/dev/sda5 58G 23G 33G 41% /home
/dev/sda1 92M 38M 49M 44% /boot
tmpfs 502M 0 502M 0% /dev/shm |
You ~could~ set this up from your existing installation right now but it's going to mean a lot of messing about with partitions, unmounting, resizing and labeling. The main advantage is that I can make copies of ~/ and transfer them to other machines.
Here's how it's done at install time:- http://www.jayeola.org/dump/SS-alpha/screenshot-0010.png
you can leave the data unchanged to keep using that partition from a new installation or downgrade.
