Still confused > bj bj, I have three harddrives they are set up so that / , /usr , /var , /tmp and swap are on one drive. Then I have a second drive that is /home and a third drive as /home1 The first drive above is hda and the primary master, /home is primary slave and /home1 is secondary master. It should not matter what you set up as partitions as long as / and or boot is on the primary master drive. All the rest can go where you want to put it . HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
