Is there an option to force MBSE to install to the existing        > home directory?                     I have had to do similar more than once due to having multi partitions/distros        all pointing to       one install areas/home/mbse              So, I copy the SETUP.sh to STUP2.sh (yes I know original). Then hack that        removing segments not       needed but mostly creating home directories and/or mbse user accounts        including bbs if already       set up.              Then run it and yes I double check the script before running and even then        sometime have to       mod the mod and rerun..                                   Vince              --- Mageia Linux v6 X64/Mbse v1.0.7.9/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.501-b20150715        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK & Eire (2:250/1)    |
