I currently have Mint 14 set up on a 128GB SSD, with my /home directory on a 1TB Hard Disk. I am thinking about installing Ubuntu 14.04 when it comes out.
I understand that I can select a different home partition during installation and not format it.
Will the home directory just work, considering it is a change of distro or are there any Ubuntu specific contents in the /home directory that need to be created?
lsblk output:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 119.2G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 103.3G 0 part /
├─sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part
└─sda5 8:5 0 16G 0 part [SWAP]
sdb 8:16 0 931.5G 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:17 0 931.5G 0 part /home
lsblk
to your question? This will show us what your current partitions look like. If you have your home directory on a seperate partition you should be able to designate that as the home directory in a new install as long as you do NOT format /home: askubuntu.com/questions/285212/…
