It's the place I put all my mail, documents, stuff I download -- anything I want to hang onto if I need/want to reinstall the system. In my home directory I have a subdirectory called "files", and I mount the files partition there during startup. So the path to my Mailbox directories is /home/ronin2/files/Mailboxes, for example. (I don't save mail in the default directory in /home/<me>.) I have right now three different Linux systems on this laptop, and in each system I can mount that partition in /home/<me>/files and access my stuff. Kevin
