Depending on what login in the then current instantiation does, it may or may not even let you log in if home doesn't exist. If $PATH takes you to a directory that can't be read because of a failed disk it could hang you forever (think $HOME/bin). There may not be anything important in root's home, but the existence of it itself could be important. The stuff I keep in /root that would be nice to have access to is notes mostly and aliases that my fingers expect to have available (like ll etc). There are also key remappings to put the keys back to something resembling a vt100. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
