Thought we were in the home stretch, but.....
From what I can see, hda7 is in order: created and mounted.
If cfdisk shows ext3 against hda7, can I take that as proven? Is there another way to check?
Following Stephen's answer to my question #4, to move /home to hda7, assuming that hda7 is all in order, I booted the CD and in console,
typed: "sudo mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7". Reply:
there was no comment; a new prompt came up; took that to mean "hda7 is mounted arready!"
Then typed:"cd /mnt/hda7/home". Reply: "No such file or directory"
Stuck again....suggestion please ?
