Thanks Jackie for your reply! I remember it being fairly easy to attach USB devices w/ the right clicks here & there. So, yes, I'd have access to the files on my external HD. But it would be more convenient if I could get Qubes to mount the home folder on the HD as the Home folder for the given virtual machine. I imagine that's trickier and was wondering if there's a way to do it? Maybe use a script to mount the attached USB drive home (/home/guyuser) over the Qubes home directory? But then, if that's possible, some of the setup in the Qubes home directory might get missed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
