hi, I was dual booting fed and mandriva on my laptop but took mandriva off to load SLED10 in it's place for work. but when I tried to configure grub for the dual boot between the 2 my fed root partition had none of it's settings. I then deleted SLED10 and used Gparted to see if my fed setup was still usable. Everything on my /home partition is still there but nothing on my fed / partition. I then did a reinstall, recreating the swap and / but I don't know how to set it up so that it automatically uses the /home partition. once in fed I can mount it but I wont to use it as a default /home.

Just add line in /etc/fstab file for mounting /home partition.
