Re: mounting /home?
hi ya dale..
if your partition names /dev/hda1.../dev/hda2...etc
is the same as on the old box and the new one...
and /dev/floppy and /dev/cdrom and /dev/pts and other
things in /etc/fstab is the same...yeah...you can copy it
but by the time you find all the differences...you are already done
and dont need to copy since you added the "needed" stuff ( /home )
from the old to the new system..
ie....hint....do NOT copy it...
c ya
