Using /dev/hda6 as /homeForum: HD Install Topic: Using /dev/hda6 as /home started by: LRS Posted by LRS on Jan. 20 2006,18:49
I have already installed DSL2.1 to /dev/hda1(5.0gig partition) and it works fine, but I would prefer to run my /home directory from /dev/hda6 (10gig partition)How do I do this..?? I have searched through the forums and found other people asking similar questions but with no answers given.. Can somebody please help. Mick Posted by doobit on Jan. 20 2006,19:10
IF you have a frugal grub install then you put home=hda6 in the boot command line of /cdrom/boot/grub/menu.lst. If you have a normal install, then you can put home wherever you want using the move command in bash terminal.
However, I think you are refering to a working home directory where you store programs that you want to get to separately from the KNOPPIX home directory in DSL. The easy way to do this is just to make another /home in /dev/hda6.
