What I have suggested is that one move /home to its own filesystem out of /usr so that user data is not intermingled with OS and utilities. Uh, you know /root/ is the superuser's home directory and not the same thing as "the root directory '/'", right? :-) /root/ is not a bad place to put a few little things such as a list of critical files to feed to "tar -cI" to backup one's specific configuration. /root/ *is* on the / partition so you don't want to put much there. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
