Reinstall 2.8 without losing my settings

[arxontas]

For the LL settings yes the home folder works fine.But the programs i use for IP/TCP  ham-radio packet ax25  are not in home folder .And they need to be re-install again and setup to be able to talk to internet and to ax25.And there is the problem witch i do not know how,because some other peep set it up  for me some time ago.
Well as long  those programs are working , i will leave it the way it is till the pc go dead lol..
Thanks any way.
