You can do anything you like, but 9.04 is NOT unstable. The
problem I
think is you upgraded from your 8.10 and it didn't work well. No
way to
know why.

*I have to agree with Karl, 9.04 is stable, I have had just a couple of
things that did not work, but after finding out what the problem was,
everything has worked just fine...

I now have even upgraded to the newest unstable Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, and
I did not loose any apps that were already installed with 9.04...

So you may have a problem with your own setup, and if you can not figure
it out, or if no-one can seem to help you, then I suggest that you do a
complete re-install...

As for mount problems, just maybe it is your permission settings... ;-)
