This is why , having been bit once, follow the procedure for new installations:
- Have the /home directory on a separate physical unit.
- Physically disconnect said unit during the install.
- Reconnect after the install has been done without problem, adding the
relevant line to /etc/fstab.
Cheers,
Ron.
