Comment:
The preferences are actually not stored in a system folder. Only
/boot/system is a system folder. And depending on how you update from the
nightlies, your settings will be preserved.
You can either use the installer, or, if you want to write the nightly
over your partition, you could move /boot/home to another one, but then
you would need to replace the new one with a symlink to your home after
each update.
A more manual approach: you can also mount the nightly from your current
version, rename the nightly's "system" folder to "system-new", and copy
it to your boot disk. Replace or merge the /boot/common directory to your
likings. Then rename "system" to "system-old", and "system-new" to system
(with Tracker!). Reboot. Delete "system-old".
