Changing the home directory

kyleinc · 02-26-2005, 11:14 PM

I am using Fedora Core 3 and would like the users' home directory to be located on a separate FAT32 partition so that the files saved there can be accessed in Windows. How would I go about doing this?

You can do this several ways:

Code:

export $HOME=/yourdirhere
or
usermod

or

You can edit /etc/passwd, and change the obvious.

I would not put the whole of /home on a fat32 partition as the lack of permissions will give you trouble with certain apps and confi files I fear...

My suggestion would be a /home/yourusername/files directory mounted on the fat32 drive...
