How can you have two home directories? For example these are the relevant partitions on this system: /dev/hdb2 has SuSE 9.2 /dev/hdb3 is the spare /dev/hdb7 is /home It seems like any new distro put into /dev/hdb3 will automatically use /dev/hdb7 (which SuSE 9.2 is using), right? Is there anyway to install a new distro on /dev/hdb3 and have it use a /home on /dev/hdb3? And thanks to you and Rod and Rick for the input. At the very least I'll start booting SuSE 9.2 on two partitions, even if I don't put a new distro on /dev/hdb3. Thanks.
