Hi Fernando, Close applications and save data in graphic mode and end session. Go to text terminal with Ctrl-F2, login as root user, init 3 mkdir home1 cp home home1 umount /home mv home1 home Now you have to edit /etc/fstab and comment out the line that mounts your home partition to /home, or change /home in that line to /home1. First will not mount partition at all, second will mount it to /home1 making possible to use it for any purpose you want. init 5 should bring you back to GUI, with new /home directory. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
