could you post your /etc/fstab file

/dev/sda2 / auto defaults 1 1
# Do not edit this file as fstab is recreated automatically during every boot.
# Please use /etc/rc.d/rc.local or sysvinit scripts if you want to mount/unmount drive,
# filesystem or network share.

# System mounts:
aufs / aufs defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate
devtmpfs /dev devtmpfs defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 # AutoUpdate

# Device partitions:

I don't see a /home partition, you can't create a user's directory using kuser or adduser under /home if it does not exist

well i done fresh install yesterday made 3 partions

1)=swap
2)=wifislax root boots [this is wher wifislax is installed on
3)= blank partion wich i want my non root home

so realy i only want to boot off no.2 partion and use 3 as my working directory so i dont keep messing my root file system up like i been doing for months then have to do reinstall all time

so if you no a way of setting my partion up like that then i wont need to add new user i just dont want to keep messing up mu root boot file system up

I wonder if maybe this is not meant to be a multiuser general usage distro but a single user, single purpose distro and that's why there's no default /home being created

what you need to do is to mount /home on /dev/sda3 but you need to do it outside of /etc/fstab (unusual) using /etc/rc.d/rc.local or sysvinit scripts if you want to mount/unmount drive and for that you should ask on their forum.

I would also point out that what's displayed on their home page is KDE 3.5, do you really want to be using 3.5 instead of 4.10?

i am useing 4.10 i have tryed asking on wifislax forum geting no help with this problem can you pls help me set it up so i dont have to add new user and i dont no how to do it

i am running wifislax 4.4 not 4.3 i am useing beta 12 so that is 4.10 i just dubble cheacked

I have no idea how you would do this though I assume the use of soft links (ln -s), maybe try the Slax forums and documentation as I assume wifiSlax is a derivative

you could also post a thread on a Slax'ish forum asking how to mount a /home partition when one isn't automatically generated

ps - would you consider tunning something a bit easier to use and set up?

what do you serjest i have tryed abut 10 difrent distros this i found the best so far kde wifislax

why do you think it's the best? to me it seems to be specialized, not general purpose and not with a large user base

if you're hooked on a Slax derivative why not use straight Slax I would guess it has a larger user base and therefor you might get more responses to your questions. At least try the Slax forums and documentation if you keep using wifiSlax

there's a partitonmanager module you can dl and run, using that to create /home might also provide the means to have it automatically mounted at boot (or not) WRONG - thinking of openSUSE's partitioning tool

i have g parted but cant work out home to make it home is it in flags because i have these flags

boot
diag
hidden
lba
lvm
palo
prep
raid
wich one would be home?
