I did it!

Aloha, Pardon the newbie excitement but I have successfully mapped a half-height external USB Hard Drive as my /home and after copying /home in FC4 to it then booting into FC5 and mapping /home to it...presto bango...I am now running FC5 no worries. I did lose a few things in the transfer but not much. Which is quite an accomplishment for a newbie like myself. Matter of fact, on a back burner, I may start writing about this. I think that given the popularity I am seeing it may be wise to tell people about this kind of thing so that upgrades go easier. Plus it puts your data on a different partition. Anyone got any advice on what else should be separated like that? Mahalo, Edward
