[gobolinux-users] Installation doesn't handle reinstalling over the top of a previous home directory.

[Paul Bonser]

I was reinstalling from the 014.01 CD, over the top of my previous
install, and when the install got to the creating of the home
directory for my user, it basically froze.

Looking at the process list it was doing a grep, seemingly over the
full 6 or 7 gigs of data in my home directory, so after several hours
of letting it run (while doing something else, not just sitting and
watching it), I stopped the process and restarted the install after
renaming the original directory to something else.

It seems like it would be a good thing to support people installing
Gobo and letting them keep their old home directories in place, right?
