That was what I did first. But then I noticed the "odd" beahviour ($HOME always pointing to /home/user, instead of what stated in /etc/passwd). I understand that xterm is not a login shell, that's fine, but *why* not handling the correct $HOME? This sounds kinda strange to me. > Or better yet > just mount the mmc card onto /home/user!
