Yes you can if your /usr/home is a separate partition (or on a separate slice). I'm back to FreeBSD now but when using PCBSD I create a / and a /usr/home. It works very well, I can do a whole fresh install on / without touching the /usr/home partition. The installer lets you do this (but back up first just in case). Then a bit of fiddling with fstab and users and it is all go. > hm, not sure how much flash is used, really. i just avoid as > much of it as I can. if i can watch a public broadcasting > stream i usually KVM over to my Ubntu box. ....mmmm. > Hope the just-works PCBSD just-works here. PCBSD has flash sorted out, you can watch youtube, news website embedded video etc. Actually FreeBSD has flash sorted out as well... I think they have done a very good job, I would say give it a try.
