Hi all,
I just did a fresh install from 9.10 to 10.10 and this time I made a partition for my /home .
To accomplish this /home partition thing, I edited fstab to mount the physical parition containing my old /home from 9.10 (by UUID), to /home under 10.10.
So far most everything is working well.
However, scripts in my /home/bin directory are working. My .profile file hasn't been modified, and still contains the lines to add /home/bin to my PATH variable.
Also, FF 3.6.18 has some mouse/cursor lag issues sometimes.
I have never used a separate partition for /home before, so I suspect there are some conflicts occuring.
Any specific info. on these issues would be great, or if you have some general wisdom about using a separate /home partition and upgrading, that would help too.
