What do you want specifically?

You want to move the current /home partition to another partition....? And do you want to use that data to make a remaster???
=> best open 2 different threads, one for moving that partition if needed, and then how to exclude/include specific data in your remaster...

Normally, the data from your /home partition is packed too in the remaster (=> included in the .iso you get after remastering your install)

I know but my question is about the moment when the install will copying files to my new /home partion, the data on it (my old data) will be ovverrided or nothing will be done with it?

Hi SpeedVin, I think your /home will overwrite your existing /home on a remaster install. If you want to preserve your existing /home files, you can exclude them from your remaster with --nodir ^/home/speedvin. I backup files separately to keep my remaster within size limitations.
Have fun!

The only advice I can supply is that after numerous failures, I discovered that there are a ton of hidden files in the home directory. Many I have no idea why they are in the home directory, basic qt files, kde.old files, ect.
