Just a matter of doing an install from the Live CD as if it were a new install?

Would I have to partition the HDDs again?  (A prospect that appals me!)

You can tell it to use the existing partitions.
You can just install in the / partition and leave your /home intact (back it up first ) just in case.

telling it to do that might revert the file system to ext3 ..well in case he wanted ext4

 OK so straightforward then. I have backed up /home. I gather the installed apps won't survive.

 Thanks

 Not quite sure whether I have 3 or 4 at the moment, but thanks for the warning.
