[08-15-05 00:20]: Patrick, isn't a mike:users about what SuSE does when it takes over an existing /home/mike directory on a new install, with the old /home partition?
I don't know as I have never "upgraded". I always do a clean install with a separate /home/{user} and then copy settings I want to preserve. But I do have owners other than {user}:users under /home/{user}.
When I updated 8.2 to 9.1 it prompted for user creation and did change the ownership which as I remember in 9.1 first users were based on 1000 prior to that they were 500. Suse does not trash your home directory you do. I have always done my clean installs on the same drive and have yet to lose my home directory. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
