no, if you do not specify a /home folder then it = symlinks it to /usr/home, if you specify a /home directory then it = get's written to that directory.

        Maybe I = misunderstand how it works... /home goes under /usr
usually, right? Let's say /home is getting full, and = I write something
into it. Does the system take more from the 8 gig = drive since /home should
be under /usr, or will it give a device full = error?
