ok - whats about this scenario: (asume this only for SUSE, not for other distros
Same for all distros. I think there is a misunderstanding of what is your home. In fact there two very different parts. * your own work, datas, documents. This should be on an other parttion. Many advantages, very easy backups, for examples. * the config data of apps (all the "." files) This last part can be very different from an install to an other. It's not rare for an user to try red hat, mandrake, suse.. gentoo (this last, may be not :-), knoppix, debian... They may be very large differences from one to an other on the way apps are used. That is why the home (~) folder can stay on /. To access your data, last SuSE creates /dataX folders with others partition, so they are easily mounted. it's then enough to link your valuable data to any home folder. for now the only problem (minor) I have had is thunderbird don't accepting links, so I was obliged to copy the .thunderbird folder jdd -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.net http://arvamip.free.fr
