My old FC4 box, for various reasons, was put through a couple of experiments and is currently a MEPIS box. However, I kept my old /home directory, actually an entire dedicated 300GB drive intact; currently, it is not mounted on the MEPIS machine. I would like to apply FCt2 to this machine and dump MEPIS, but it would be nice if I could bring up the old /home volume as /home in my new Fedora installation (/home is an LVM created under FC4); are there any downsides? If I decide to do this, what is the method? When I install Fedora, there's an early point where I can go into the advanced partitioning screens and select my home volume and instruct it not to be formatted (if I'm recalling this correctly); then it gets to the post install fresh boot-up screens and it asks me to create a user etc... What should I do at this point? Any advice/suggestions/experiences appreciated. Do I select my old user name "cj" and just reinstall that, or can I expect that /home/cj will be alive and well when the machine comes fully up? I've read many posts about this but the exact procedure eludes me. I'm asking this here because it's a much larger subscriber base, and it's really not a question specific to FC6t2. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
