Karl,

Thank you so much for this tutorial.

I have no risk of sounding ignorant, as I have already posted my mistake,
therefore I will ask for a little clarification.

I will boot with the rescue and select Rescue existing installation.

Then I will create a new partition on my existing hard drive using fdisk.

I will format it as an ext3 filesystem.

The rescue disk mounts my munged system under mnt/sysimage.

I will create another mount point and mount my new partition to it.

If I have understood this so far then I am only confused here.

I should copy the /home directory of the rescue system to my new partition
or to my munged system?

Thank you, again for your kindness.

Pete
