Lets say I had a machine dual booting XP and Linux (assume ubuntu but the
question is generic) and using grub. Now lets say I want to do a clean
install of Linux (not necessarily the same distro/version). I assume the
cleanest way would be to restore the XP MBR, remove the Linux partitions and
then re-install Linux. Very ugly so I am hoping there are better ways. For
example, if the home FS were a separate partition, it might save a lot of
restorative time but I would have no idea of the mechanics. Can anyone
point me to a resource that would help explain the issues and methods for
REinstalling Linux.
BTW, my need for doing this is gone so please do not spend a lot of effort
answering this. If anyone wants to know WHY the question came up I would be
happy to explain though.
