Move the dulithgow and mbschmidt accounts to a newly created directory, /home.new for exemple. Then add the following line in your /etc/fstab: LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 Label the new partition /home with the command "e2label /dev/hda8 /home" and then mount it with the command "mount /home". Move the user accounts from /home.new to /home and erase /home.new . You're done! Emmanuel
