Folks, It has been a long time since I had to do this one, but I am going to set up a new (yea it is relative) machine a refurbed X201 that I just got. I put a 1 tb HD in it and am going to move my present work to it so I can refurb my X200 ( screen has bad tubes or PSU) and I need to do some other things to it. I did this I think about 5 years ago and recall that I messed some things up but can not remember what I did, I finally got it all going right, but would like to do it in one fell swoop without having to go in and fix issues, and no surprises on the road either.
So I am all ears as to how to do it properly. The last time I did this of course the machine created a home directory for my login, but I had to go in and replace it with my original home directory after the whole thing had been created, then like now the disk was a clean new disk, and I copied the home directory from another disk. I am thinking to go ahead and move the home directory to the new disk prior to installing OS as I always set up a separate partition for the home directory. I am now ready to hear any and all recommendations. -- Chuck Hast -- KP4DJT -- Glass, five thousand years of history and getting better.
