Subject: Moving the /Home Partition, Permission Issues.
I'm getting ready to install 10.4 (8.04 currently), and I need to
rearrange some partitions in preparation.
I need to move my /Home partition out of the way temporarily and the
only place I have to move it to is an NTFS drive that can't be changed.
I can handle all of the repartitioning with GParted without a problem,
but I'm weak when it comes to Linux file/folder permission issues.
Are there issues here? How do I do this safely?
If you can point me to a guide, that would be great. The more
cookbookish the better.

have you considered moving it to an external drive for the duration??
when I upgrade I often will get a new hard drive, put the new stuff on the
new hard drive and run the second (original) drive as a "Slave" in case of
emergency you can then still just unplug the new drive and boot from the
old one.

It's the permissions I'm concerned about. I don't think it will matter
if the NTFS drive is internal or external, I'm just concerned about it
being NTFS.<br>
