Since you knew about the limitation and acted accordingly, I would say 1) add a partition to take up the remainder of the drive - this can be done without loosing any information. Just do it like you normally would. 2) make a file system on the partition 3) mount that file system as /home (make sure you make backups of what's in /home, first) 4) restore the backups into the new /home 5) don't forget to make the changes to /etc/fstab so that the new /home will be mounted at boot. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
