At least it does so on all the systems I know. That has been demonstarted in this thread. Thus, there is no need for a work-around - you'd better check what is broken in your setup. > > This solves the problem of the /home problem, so I before other people > are running in the same problem it is better to add it in the distritbution. No, it's probably only you who has that problem. So it would be better to fix your problem and not create new ones... By the way - and I don't know the start script you quote from - the HOME variable probably needs to be exported before it takes effect.
