Joe Soap Member Registered: Sep 2001 Location: Switzerland Distribution: Debian, Sidux Posts: 225 Original Poster Rep:	Evening Gents. Unfortunately the news isall bad. I followed the instructions above: - copied /usr/* to /mnt/hda6 with -pR - unmounted hda6 - updated fstab - rebooted and it WORKED! So I delete the old /usr and rebooted and it didn't work. Go figure. So I copied hda6 back to /usr, changed fstab and rebooted. And that's where I am now. Thanks to all for the help and patience, it is certainly much appreciated. Cheers Joe
