Hello All!   
      
   Having been using mbse since the days of v0.33 I have until 2012 used one   
   partition for the whole of the Linux system.   
      
   Since then I have used a boot partition (12GB or 20GB) containing /   
      
   and another partition of 500GB or 1TB to hold /home that is mounted to /   
      
   Ok so far?   
      
   Well maybe not.   
      
   Building a new system drive (3TB WD Red - no not recommended as only 5400 rpm,   
   not that the paperwork says that!),   
      
   I created it as a GPT, installed Win 7 X64 with 1Tb, then three 20GB Linux    
   boot   
   partitions, 4GB swap, 1TB home, 500Gb Win backup and the remainding  unused.   
      
   Installed Mageia v4 to the first boot part. and Mageia v3 to the next.   
   This in itself has problems booting to Windows as I get a sector 0 error,   
   however I transgress, Now installed mbse (onto the M v4 part) along with all   
   the other s/w needed and again linked mbse to /home.   
      
   Now the problem: With the new drive mounted as well as the older drive I   
   cleared out the old mbse directory having copied its contents to the new    
   drive.   
      
   This resulted in both old and new drive having the mbse directory deleted.   
      
   Not good as I had no choice to revert back to an older drive with a 2 year old   
   copy and currently still rebuilding the system.   
      
   I then went into the setup to change all of the paths to point to /home/mbse   
   including all of the file groups & areas, ditto for the message base along    
   with   
   everything else BUT not all moves as the logs and some other stuff cannot be   
   moved using this approach, but the idea is to only have the programs etc on    
   opt   
   therefore reducing the mbse storage requirements.   
      
      
   This brings me to the point:   
      
   I would like to reinstall mbse so that it installs to /home/mbse and NOT /opt.   
      
   This issue applies to anyone who wishes to use a boot partition and a seperate   
   one for /home.   
      
   IS there a working solution to do this at the point of building the mbse   
   system, e.g., ./configure&make&make install ?   
      
   I do not wish to have to do this again!   
      
   In any event my attempt of moving all the paths I can to /home/mbse does not   
   fully work (see above as some paths at /opt/mbse are not changeable (var/log    
   to   
   name but one).   
      
      
   A very tired,   
      
      
   Vince
