Hi there,

I was wondering if it's possible to change the location of my complete home folder to an external firewire drive.

this offcourse means that this firewire drive has to be attached when my powerbook is on.

Point is, I want to place all my documents iphoto, itunes, idvd etc etc on my firewire.

I already manually made these folders on the external drive, but osx is constantly remaking these folders in my home folder.

Moving my complete home folder seems like the way to do it.
