Repartitioning/Reinstalling



Folks--

Its time to repartition my disks.  The plan is to:
1.  Put all the user data I want to keep onto tape
2.  Install debian from scratch (including repartition)
3.  Restore .deb package database
4.  Re-fetch current .debs
5.  Restore user data and configuration data.

My questions are:
Is this feasable?
How do I do Steps 3&4?
Which /var/lib or /var/cache files do I need to save for the new
installation?
Which commands do I need to read-up on to effect the re-installation of
the .debs?

Thanks,
--rich
