Just a simple question.
My hard disk crashed friday and I got a new one, reinstalled everything, and am in the process of recreating my install...a setting here, a setting there
I attempted to use the Home from a previous install but that just confused things.
Is there a way to "capture" this install and be able to just "put it back" if I bork it again?

yes, create a backup on an external disk
I backup /, /home, /data1, and /data2.
Then all you have to do is restore your backup to the new partitions. If you make the disk partitioning the same for swap and / on the new drive you won't have to change a thing, just restore your backup.
There are several threads on this topic, this one covers most of the different ways to do a backup.
