...and I want to use my old home partition as home whereas currently there is a 35gb partition that was my old home and a new 'home' within /.

Please can you tell me how to make my old home recognised by my new install of Lucid.


Thanks
Andy

Using the disk utility I think the partition where my original home is called 'file:///media/f4e9cfee-317e-4a66-8bc5-d60dc1316043' since the fresh install of 10.04, but in the places menu it is referred to as 38 GB Filesystem.

So if either is true then I think I must follow the instructions here
http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
using one of the names above to re-establish my home partition.

Can anyone confirm this please.
