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
