Hi,

A work colleague has added a new hard disc to his Xubuntu system and formatted 
it so that it appears as a mount point in the file browser.  However, what he 
really wants to do is to use that disc to contain his home directory, so that 
the / directory has a disc to itself.

He doesn't have much in his current /home directory (he's a very new user), so 
one way to do this is a clean install and mount the new disc as /home during 
installation.  However, I'm sure that there's a 'proper' way to do it; a new 
entry in fstab and some judicious copying perhaps?

Can someone give me a procedure or series of steps to do this without breaking 
his existing installation?
