Hi,
Anaconda is great user-friendly installer, but it lacks some less
popular functionality.
When Anaconda is removing Linux partitions and creating new, it should
read some files from that partition.
* /etc/passwd: to see what users were used (optionally setting new
password and permissions for existent /home directory on partition which
is not going to be removed)
* /etc/modprobe.conf: to see what options were enabled
* /etc/modules: to see what modules were autoloaded ie. in Ubuntu
This probably wouldn't be possible for F9's Anaconda, but that changes
will be valuable for next releases too.
