Is there a way to chane my user account name from jerry to jerryvb without reinstalling?
Thanks
I would do it that way: - Create the new user jerryvb - Copy your old home directory to the new one: # cp -pR /home/jerry /home/jerryvb p --preserve permissions/ownership R --recursive This automatically overwrites the home directory created by YaST (1 or 2) - Adapt ownership: # chown -R jerryvb /home/cherryvb - Then delete user jerry in YaST, most recommendably _after_ having checked that everything works for jerryvb This is 'with reinstalling', if I got you right, but I don't think it's that great trouble, is it?
