My question is "how about the existing users and >their folders", how to move them to Slave drive. Is it by drag and drop on >Konqueror? I only use the command line and I've NEVER used kde... Sorry. Coupla options here via command line tho: -use 'usermod' to change the home directory of the user and you could just move their existing data to the new home. or, -use ln to link the user directory on the new disk on their current home directory. ie. #ln -s /directory/on/new/disk/ /home/jondoe Make sure you mv all of the existing data first though. look at: man ln man usermod for more info... Alternatively try to find a way to do this with Konqueror. If you feel brave give the command line a go, you never know you might like it. Rgds, M:)
