install FC11 x86-64 and preserve /home

[mikequest]

Hello
I'm planning FC11 x86_64 with a live cd , but I would like to preserve my /home partition that is in ext3 .
or is there a way to do an install and keep my /home and convert it after in ext4

thanks a lot : )

It is simple to preserve /home when upgrading; just be sure to select an installation option that allows you to pick and choose which partitions to format, and don't (re)format /home. I do this everytime I upgrade.

As for converting partitions from ext3 to ext4, the process is described in the Ext4 Howto (http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto). I haven't tried it yet, but it's on my list of things to do.
