Disk drive: going, going, ...

[Jim Foltz <jfoltz@raex.com>]

Hi,

I an going to do a re-installation of Windows and Debian and planned on
backing up the /etc directory. My /home and /usr/local are on a second
drive so will remain intact. What else on the / partition might need
to be saved? I don't have any databases or anything out of the ordinary
(that I know of, or remember)

I scanned through dpkg -l | less to see if any installed package may
need special treatment, or that I made extensive changes to, but found
none. 

Where else to look?

Thanks, here's my current fs layout.
