Kepping your settings & data, when you have no /home partition?

[Edward78]

I am finally upgrading from Mint 11 to 16. Ya, I always wait to long, anyway can I keep my settings & data? I am going from Gnome to Cinnamon.

Backup your /home to an external drive then restore it after installing Mint 16? Probably safer than trying a package upgrade.
