Migrate from old Ubuntu when fresh install

Registered by ibob63

Hi,

Sometimes it is necessary to do a fresh install of Ubuntu (i.e. moving from Dapper to Fiesty ). The migration wizard is really good for Windows - auto detecting usernames and my documents etcs...

Why not do the same for Ubuntu / linux. The migration wizard should say.

"Another Linux system is detected.
Would you like to import the home folders?
Would you like to import the configuration?
"

This is currently a real weakness with Windows and Ubuntu. But with Ubuntu we can change things and make it really easy and just work.

Thanks,

James
