well now I need to work on the other computer a little. I wanted to move the print server's /home to it's own partition but the partition i want to use is too small. So, my question is what do I need to copy? /home/<user>/documents i know I need but what else? I guess that is it. If there is space I  suppose Downloads too. And to get it to see /dev/sda3 as the new location for documents I would 'export /home/<user>/documents=/mnt/sda3/documents. Copying the documemts would be: 'rsync -va --checksum /mnt/home/documents /mnt/sda3. does this sound right?

well.... I am learning. I realized that I NEED to put the home directory on its own partition. Take that as a warning you newbies from the longest-newbie on this list!

well... I know it is mounting home.. I go to /mnt/home/bmike1 and my files are there. I know mount it to /home not/mnt/home!. Here's hoping for the best!

ARGHHHHHH!
I just restored my mint install and the restore is not working. I thought I archived it with it working. What it is doing: I login with my preferred user and enter my password and the screen blanks like it is loading the user and then it goes back to the login screen. (like before) I fixed this problem before but don't remember how I did it.
