I think the big trick with all of this is that you have to do so after Windows is installed, correct? With linux, you can specify to use a different volume for home directories during installation. Chris

Once I got "into" Linux, I never understood why MS did not implement this.

It would make it so much easier for all the support people (and users - who do their own thing)

Any ideas ?

This possibility exists for a very long time in windows (to be able to mount a ntfs partition as a directory) it is just not used by default, you need to do it yourself http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307889 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
