5600 Home Not Being Formatted

[grog]

Hi all. I'm reflashing my 5600. I reset & run the Update from the Maintenance Menu, which reports that the kernel & image are updated without errors, reset & then run the Format, which to my understanding is supposed to clean out the /home partition, correct? Why then after the reboot do I still see all of my old files under /home?

My main concern is that some of my old stuff in /home/root may interfere with the new setup. I've backed up everything, I'd like to start from a clean slate. Anything anybody can offer would be greatly appreciated. thks

/home isn't formatted by OZ.

I think the standard procedure is to rm -rf /home/* before flashing.

ah. That explains a lot. So if the formatting of home is left to the distro, then just what does the Maintenance Menu, Format do? thks

Don't be sorry, you also  have a 750! . I'm just hoping some knowledgable 5600 owner will key in here. Thanks for your help.
