Hello everybody,
I finally found a spare hour to upgrade to the eyepleasing, updated kernel and upgraded repository of 11 version, but, when I started the graphic installer in the iceWM graphic environment, I found out that I was not able to assign home partition on the other hard disk where I installed the previous version.
I also remembered to try to mount the home partition in question, but, no option in the box. I suppose I have to install everything with home in the new root partition and then change fstab after the first boot. but, I wonder, how is it with uuid and stuff? Is there a workaround for this"limitation", or is it a general linux issue that I, in my ingnorance, I don't know about?
Help everybody for support.

All I can do is show you how I set up my EEEPC that has 2 internal SSD hard drives. My install went into my 4 gig internall SSD drive first. Then I moved /home to secondary 16 gig SSD later.

Good luck with it.

Ok, I managed to edit fstab in order to mount /home directly in /home position. Everything seems to work fine, though obviously config files are different and I should change them all. One thing that struck me is that the old issue I had with 8.2 (first problems, then shutdown of wicd) is coming out again, as I get no wicd. I'll keep a brief update on the evolving situation.

For Wicd. Be sure and make a user named demo first before upgrading wicd.

I suppose you're right, now I lost almost all shortcuts in both installtions (same home, same user __{{emoticon}}__ ). Plan to reinstall new installation, create two users, transfer new demo user to old /home, mount old home in fstab (no symlinking) and diff all of the configuration files. __{{emoticon}}__ Some things you learn just by doing them all over.

Hopefully that bug will be fixed soon

Hello, I'm back. I tried again with a better outcome, though not perfect. I installed a new root with a new user and another user with the same name of the old one. Then I moved all of the user configs of the old user in another directory and copied the ones oh the automatacally created ones in the root of the old home. Chowned everything in it to the new same named created through the new system and mounted the old home partition in fstab. It works, but I have two issues I don't understand well: 1st: the rox terminal doesn't show home@user but just a $ and autocomplete is fucked up; 2nd the shutdown, reboot, etc. buttons simply don't do anything. Can't understand why.
By the way, if I want a program to be run automatically as a user at login time my only choice in cron, right?

All right. It seems it was just a group rights thing. I included my old user in the right groups and now everything is working. Man, that was a good lesson! You can change to [SOLVED] if you want. I'm not sure if this can be useful to other new users, though.
