Hi
I recently partitioned my HDD and installed OS X.
I have created 4 partitions
1 system 10 GB
2 swap 1GB
3 users 15GB
4 Free space - unformatted 12GB
I have a G3 600 iMac with 256 MB RAM.
The swap partition was created in the hope that it would speed everything up - and it did
. This 1 Gig Swap partition works wonders. I followed the excellent tutorial at http://www.bombich.com/mactips/swap.html and although I didn't make it the first partition on the disk (which supposedly makes everything a little faster) it's much quicker.
With this in mind I thought it MUST also be possible to configure the system to move the /Users directory to a seperate partition. I haven't yet managed to find much information on how to do this. Would it just involve modifying the fstab file ??? If so how??
TIA
