FWIW, I've always done a clean install, saving all of my settings and
data, of course.
It has always worked, and if I needed to do any tweaking, it was so
minor that I haven't bothered to remember it. Maybe one thing in xorg.conf,
or maybe just renaming XF86Config. The pertinent stuff in /etc just
copied right over.
Now, I'm about to embark on learning how to do a kernel. ;-) (since I've
started studying C++, of course, I now can program anything. ;-) )
Have Fun!
