I'd do it the 'other' way 'round; init 3 umount /home mount /dev/hda7 /mnt cp -a /mnt/* /home/ umount /mnt init 5 less steps, and avoids confusion about which directory contains what, at any step in the process. Obviously /dev/hda7 in the above should be substituted with actual partition. /Jon -- YMMV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
