I think he meant mine. My most recent post is about wattOS.

When I dual, triple boot I like to one partition that has all my pictures music and other stuff on a separate partition. You can make sure all your distros have the same uid # for your user or you can create a group to join and still have access to your file just mount them in the appropriate folders.

@ cristobal

You can solve most of your install problems by putting your personal files on another partition or another formatted hard drive, I've been doing this for as long as I can remember, my /home/jimmy is installed to /root, I make a folder and simply call it Linux and put it in my /home folder, and add it to fstab: '/dev/sdxx /home/jimmy/Linux ext4 auto,users,exec,relatime 0 0' where xx is will actually be the /dev/name of your partition and it will be auto mounted at boot, when you click on the folder you will be accessing your storage partition, mine is 1TB, that way your personal files are safe away from any new installs you may do.

Now when I want to do a new install I just copy my mail profile, my browser profile and what ever else I want to save to a folder on /home/jimmy/Linux and then do the install, once the install is done I just simply add /dev/sdxx /home/jimmy/Linux ext4 auto,users,exec,relatime 0 0 to the new fstab and I'm back in business again.

Anthony mentioned the separate storage partition earlier in this thread and I have done that with large folders of multimedia files.

Now I just mount an nfs share on either my wife or daughter's computer and copy them back to my home folder.

As for the config files I think I'll try copying them to /etc/skel on the usb installer, excluding those larger folders.
