What do I need to do to get a /home partition on this machine remotely? Can it be done?
Thanks for your advise
Format oneother partition and mount it; with rsync you can copy all file present in /home to the new partition (check with "who" if there are some users log on). After copy, you can change (adding) mount istruction for new partition in your /etc/fstab file, move /home directory in /home-old and create new directory /home for the mount-pointer ad mount new partition, by mount -a (or mount /dev/hdxx /home).
