Maybe format it first to get more space.. If there's something in your BLFS /home, then copy those to the root of that home partition. Then delete everything in BLFS /home, but leave the dir. Then just mount the home partition to that, like mount /dev/hd?? /home replacing that ?? with your partition. If you want it to be mounted there at boot, add this to /etc/fstab: /dev/hd?? /home auto 0 0 Lauri -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
