It is safe as long as you are not logged in as normal user, and with init 3, shutting down the GUI will log you out. Root has it's home in /root and it doesn't present problem to move /home. The single user mode should be used for instance to move /usr and Live CD to copy whole system to another partition. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
