That usually seems to work, but I have posted questions in the expert forum (like Where does Konqueror keep the settings for its terminal emulatror? I've looked through .kde and can't find them; nothing in the handbook and at that time, nothing in the mail archives -- I never got a response). -- Hoyt http://www.maximumhoyt.com

I want to be a better tester so I wanted my system to optimal in learning linux inside and out. By knowing how to create an additional linux distribution sharing the same /home directory, I enable myself to possess the knowledge to create an additional partition for Linux From Scratch.
