I would say *instead of*, not *on top of*. And copying over is easy, when your new home is mounted via fstab. mkdir /oldhome mnt <oldhome> /oldhome cp -Rpu /oldhome/. /home/ Though you could, of course, do it in the other order, mounting <oldhome> as /home. But it would still be easy. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: https://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
