I don't know much about what all you have installed but I suspect that a |
| 24 |
fresh start would be easier. It may even be faster as well. Just save |
| 25 |
your world file and the things you need in /etc. Also, save anything |
| 26 |
else you may have configured elsewhere. I also save my /root since I |
| 27 |
store some scripts and such there. |
