I read the readme file in the disk and it sounds like there is no "easy" way to do the update. I don't mind installing again, but I wanted to know what files should I backup and how do I back them up. I know I want to keep the files from the home directory. What else should I keep? Is there an easy way to list all files upated in the last X number of days?
