<div dir="ltr">Some great ideas. <div><br></div><div>One issue for "repaving my hard drives" relates to insync. I have 6 or 7 email accounts that I use insync to update my folders for these accounts to their respective google drives. If I "re-pave"my system, I will have to buy insync plus @ $30/account to set up the same system I have in place now. I still get insync updates, so the software is current, but they have a new license arrangement now as it use to be free before.</div><div><br></div><div>My system is working just fine now. I wanted to upgrade because 14.04 will no longer receive security updates starting next April.</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe a clone to an external 2TB drive would work, since I would then have all the bits for the new system if I need any of them outside of /home. However, that does not fix my insync problem. Will have to think if there are other issues like insync to confront.</div><div><br></div><div>Stephen,</div><div><br></div><div>No, that process did not work.

That said 14 is reaching end of support if it hasnt already. You will soon find no more security updates is a bad thing. You've got time, go through and migrate things to your /home and then once you have that done, you can proceed as Todd has suggested. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Sep 14, 2018, 9:37 AM Mark Phillips <<a href="mailto:mark@phillipsmarketing.biz" target="_blank">mark@phillipsmarketing.biz</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Todd,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the information about the InstallFest.
