[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] busybox, sh and $HOME

[From: young dave]

Hi,
I guess you need reboot the device.

under our N770's osso-xterm ,
1. sudo gainroot
2. mkdir /media/mmc1/user
3. usermod -d /media/mmc1/user user
4. reboot

Regards
dave

Then the user home directory changed to /media/mmc1/user.
