[ubuntu-za] Interrupted Upgrade

[Tim Johnson]

On Friday I decided to upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty on my laptop  
(elderly Fujitsu Siemens P4 with dead battery).
At some point during the process, power was interrupted and I ended up  
with a non-bootable disaster.  On booting I end up at a BusyBox prompt and  
have no idea where to go from there.

I then did a fresh install of Jaunty onto a new partition and created a  
/home partition too.

Everything went fine and Jaunty looks great (btw, I have an old built-in  
Intel graphics card and have no problems with it).

My question is this:  Can I copy my old /home folder into my /home  
partition and regain all my previously installed apps etc?  Would a fresh  
installation of each app be a better approach?

Thanks

Tim
