fifihyperbolahello, is it possible to install devuan on a seperate /home partition, but without formatting it? Cuz I use the home partition for another distro, but want to use the same one on devuan, but don't want to lose data from other distro...13:32
fifihyperbolaok, nevermind13:39
Jorilfifhyperbola: the installer allows to mount a partition without formatting it, yes13:45
fifihyperbolayeah, I have done this, cheers :)13:47
yjftsjthsd3I would suggest caution with that approach, though - depends on the distros involved, but running different versions of programs on the same dotfiles/databases doesn't always end well.23:42
yjftsjthsd3Or maybe it's fine and I'm just paranoid :P23:43
