You forgot to mount it as such during install. You can fix this easily. # shutdown now (wait a little) # mount /dev/hda2 /mnt # cp -ax /home /mnt (wait a long time) # rm -r /home # mkdir /home # editor /etc/fstab (add a new entry for /home) # shutdown -rF now (wait for reboot, you now have /home where you expect it) - -- .''`.
