yes you will be able to access /home/user. delete and/or format hda1 & hda2, optionally create your swap if you delete hda1 & hda2, select hda3 and make it /home and be sure format is not selected. I think by default it won't prompt you format your /home partition. then (obviously) add user when it gets to that point, and you should be set. hth. cameron -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
