different home directory name
« on: March 08, 2005, 06:44:01 PM »
I'm new in using linux, so I need help from you guys.
I'm currently using FEDORA CORE 3. My friend installed it for me. The thing is that I changed my user directory in the "User and Groups Configuration" so that my home directory changed from /home/steve to /home/steven. But I did not realize that I need to make change to my actual directory name, so the next time I reboot to FEDORA, it gives me error that /home/steven does not exist, and I cannot log in to desktop to change my directory name.
I have tried to use FailSafe session, and I was able to go to the shell that's the farthest thing I know, I don't know what to do next?
Can anyone help me????
