[LON-CAPA-admin] Kernel upgrade: segmentation fault

[Lars Jensen]

Hi Guy and Scott,

1) If I tar /home and /etc including subdirectories, do I then need the
   backup?

2) I'm surprised that things will go well with the 6.2 /etc
   subdirectories. Is this really so?

3) Now that I need to do a fresh install, what is the suggested partition 
   of the hard drive?

4) So is this the procedure?
	a) Fresh-install 7.3
	b) restore /home and /etc from the tar backup
	c) re-install lon-capa

Or is b) and c) reversed? 
Did I forget anything?

Thanks,
Lars.
