While it is nice to have /home on a separate filesystem, and it's generally how I do things on a desktop, moving it is a lot of work just to reinstall. --=20 Neil Bothwick New Intel opcode #007 PUKE: Put unmeaningful keywords everywhere --Sig_/yGT8ICNC=dBuCypmwKqon03 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEE8k9T/rX16EJxEKG692eFu0QSMJgFAl/8V+UACgkQ92eFu0QS MJjGXQ//cFGr3yj1ZZwenMWVhRPWLRIvjXeBrmophxBLq6yToEtMSYWSQRexJmI8 NWBPpY4YejJo9/wYM3lGumEefHiZXwyWKDPqgwF+kvuShaa3wEx6Y6dntaXqiNmM m9+rRw53KwYWgQp1Q3sEGOgQt7sl7dfbvv9c0qNaLZs+Pny0I372gqK4rvrRq4wE ajQMluaMFJx9vuajTIsBp7M8B62q8rPhWUff3WVKPuzEt21WHf9NPpbDMqGT7pz2 BW2KaQpG0zFpOBZjxt4WmmhNllPwroD6S982Nz6k9/MpSAGKfXPsdDNLPAEALmoT dsKn4Jt5Wz8rcREtcQNmuXG4+2S3/OXawu7Pagity1psdj/3x4GFKrNJCpzv1HH4 rLCBBzNW7mY2l9SM8gfOTu64P03TTqGZCDt8GZeduG3/h1Kon+1AcomH0Zi7AFu1 +txAObebcNqKlSVwbP/cJtoP6vYeVGU33H+u6eOc5BqK8RYqBE+w1phTjTR2SS+/ vNcDmDJk44C6f9NSgXnwVq4Pj3exMBYwPq4U1YjEKcqBAdK4oheYOlz4ro8DeqRX /YBj3IISL5ZS9nCHRkHwKpRjG5eWwgGVwqFVY9/kzrgpNXDAF9jA4jh2psqVQ9dN I0RvcZ06vMLGGSs0lzuVjeIIkzQsciH0WlKiFopkaPAd0225zkI= =YfuW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/yGT8ICNC=dBuCypmwKqon03--
