I've done this song and dance since I was beta-testing Red Hat 7 years ago. Now, I've kept the same /home since I ran Red Hat Linux 5.2, although going from 6.2 to one of the first 7 betas did horrible things to my KDE config, which taught me the song and dance above. Having a /home that has been around that long does make certain things somewhat weird, but it has worked for me. -- Lamar Owen Chief Information Officer Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
