Re: Moving home directory between who PCs

But are you really setting /media/usb_memory as your home directory?

Yes, by moving it with the command "ln -s /media/usb_memory/
my_user_name my_user_name" in /home.

That is "linking it" But then you could mount it directly so that if it
failed to mount you would not fill up /media/usb_memory on the disk with
junk.



I wish to use two different PCs during the summer and intend to bring
"home" with me with the usb memory.

Hope you make backups as well.
